used this reaction to craft an approach towards to naturally occurring antibiotic guanacastepene<br />

A (267). 169, 170 To this end, reaction <strong>of</strong> allenyne 268 with 10 mol% [Rh(CO)2Cl]2 at 80 °C<br />

affords the [6,7,5]-fused tricyclic enone 269 in 65% yield (Scheme 4.17).<br />

In summary, the allenic cyclocarbonylation reaction has proven as a useful method for<br />

the synthesis <strong>of</strong> α- and 4-alkylidene cyclopentenones. The regioselectivity can be controlled by<br />

the choice <strong>of</strong> metal used to effect the reaction, thereby allowing for conversion <strong>of</strong> a single<br />

precursor to two structurally distinct products.<br />
