Mechanism and Origins of Enantioselectivity of Rhodium‐Catalyzed [4+3] Annulation of Benzosilacyclobutenes with 7‐Oxabenzonorbornadienes

ABSTRACT Rhodium‐catalyzed asymmetric [4+3] annulation of benzosilacyclobutenes with 7‐oxabenzonorbornadienes provides an efficient route to enantioenriched seven‐membered sila‐heterocycles. In this study, density functional theory calculations were performed to elucidate the rea...
