Published: December 2011

The dialkylaluminum hydride-promoted reaction of 1-silylalk-3-en-1-ynes gave symmetrical 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted benzenes as single regioisomers. The novel cyclodimerization via skeletal rearrangement can be rationalized by an unprecedented mechanism involving sequential hydroalumination, alkene isomerization, carboalumination, carbon-carbon bond cleavage, and retro-hydroalumination.
