Finally, it should be noted that following the initial report by Brummond, Shibata 78 and Mukai 79<br />

have also reported Rh(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization <strong>of</strong> allenynes leading to cross-conjugated<br />

trienes. 80<br />

In summary, the Rh(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization <strong>of</strong> allenynes allows rapid access to cyclic<br />

cross-conjugated trienes. Additional studies in the Brummond group have been aimed at<br />

extending the scope and utility <strong>of</strong> this transformation. The presence <strong>of</strong> three stereodefined olefins<br />

in the cross-conjugated trienes makes them valuable synthetic intermediates, and <strong>of</strong>fers unique<br />

opportunities for exploiting these compounds in target- and diversity-oriented synthesis.<br />
