TLDR
A Rh(I)-catalyzed [3 + 2] reaction of trans-VCP-enes, where VCP acts as a three-carbon synthon to furnish five-membered carbocycles, is demonstrated.
Abstract
Vinylcyclopropane (VCP) has been well applied as a five-carbon component, rather than a three-carbon component, in transition-metal catalyzed cycloadditions. Here we demonstrate a Rh(I)-catalyzed [3 + 2] reaction of trans-VCP-enes, where VCP acts as a three-carbon synthon to furnish five-membered carbocycles. This novel cycloaddition is efficient in generating bicyclic cyclopentanes in good yields from simple and easily prepared substrates. When cis-VCP-ene is used as the substrate, VCP acts as a five-carbon unit to give a [5 + 2] cycloadduct. Rationalization of the [3 + 2] and [5 + 2] cycloadditions of VCP-enes has been proposed.

Transition Metal-Mediated Cycloaddition Reactions

TL;DR: The phytochemical remains of the seven-membered ring formation are still under investigation, but it is clear that the polymethine content of the ring is lower than previously thought, suggesting that it is more likely to be a mixture of 22π and 32σ.
