Significance
This paper describes a cationic rhodium(I)/Segphos complex catalyzed double [2+2+2] cycloaddition of internal 1,6-diynes with a phosphonate- or ester-substituted 1,3-butadiyne. C 2-Symmetric axially chiral biaryl diphosphonates or dicarboxylates, respectively, were obtained in high yields and outstanding enantioselectivities. Moreover, the authors demonstrated the practicality of this method in a large-scale reaction which gave the product with almost identical yield and enantioselectivity as those in the small-scale reaction.
