Three-component [2+2+1] cycloadditions are facilitated by the use of dienes as activated two-carbon-atom components in a RhI-catalyzed intermolecular variant of the Pauson–Khand reaction (see scheme). The enhanced reactivity of the dienes allows efficient access to a variety of alkenyl cyclopentenones from commercially or readily available starting materials.
