12 A typical experimental procedure is
as follows (Table
[1]
, entry
9): Under an argon atmosphere, RhCl(PPh3)3 (3.7
mg, 4.0 µmol) was placed in a flask. A degassed toluene
solution (4 mL) of allenyne 1a (42.5 mg,
0.200 mmol) was added, then the mixture was stirred at 90 °C
(bath temperature) for 5 h. Solvent was removed under a reduced
pressure, then the resulting crude products were purified by thin
layer chromatography to give pure 2a (30.8
mg, 0.145 mmol, 73%). 2a: IR (neat)

126.8, 128.1, 128.9, 131.9, 136.5, 140.5, 143.5; HRMS found m/z 212.1208,
calcd for C15H16O: 212.1201. The stereochemistry
of 2a was determined by the NOESY spectrum
in which NOEs between Ha and phenyl protons, and Hb and
Me protons were observed (Figure
[1]
).
13 Using 0.5 mol% catalyst, 2a was obtained in 14% yield and 1a (58%) was recovered.
