Rh(iii)-catalyzed [4+1] annulation of a sulfoxonium ylide with allyl alkyl ethers: a detailed theoretical study of the anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic activities with DFT

Abstract

The [4+1] annulation of sulfoxonium ylides with allyl ether, catalyzed by Rh(iii), efficiently produces alkyl-substituted indanone with a broad substrate scope and excellent yield.
