DFT studies on rhodium(iii)-catalyzed synthesis of indanones from N-methoxybenzamides via C–H activation reaction

Abstract

Studies have found that Rhodium(III)-catalyzed synthesis of indanones from N-methoxybenzamides with β-trifluoromethyl-α,β-unsaturated ketones via C-H activation reaction is an efficient and direct way. In our study, the mechanism of the...
