General Procedure for the Synthesis of 3
A pressure tube was charged with1 (0.4 mmol) and 2 (0.6 mmol),
[Cp*RhCl2]2 (20 mg, 8 mol%),
AgBF4 (116 mg, 0.6 mmol) and PivOH (81.7 mg, 0.8 mmol)
in acetone (3 mL) under Ar. The reaction mixture was stirred at 90oC for 12 h. After the reaction was completed, the
reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered over
celite. The solvent was then removed under vacuum and the residue was
purified by silica gel chromatography with PE/EA=5:1-2:1 to afford the
corresponding 3 .
