Abstract

The rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular cycloaddition of triynes connected by sulfur-containing tethers gave tribenzothiepins and a tribenzodithiocin in high yields with good-to-excellent enantiomeric excesses. The present protocol generated axial chiralities fused with medium-ring heterocycles. In particular, this is the first example of the catalytic and highly enantioselective construction of a tribenzodiheterocin skeleton.
