Resumen: Electrophilic attack with methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate or tetrafluoroboric acid, to new alkynyl rhodium complexes containing alkenylphosphanes, leads to butenynyl coupling products or to the unprecedented rhodaphosphacycle complexes Rh(¿5-C5Me5){¿4-(P, C, C, C)-iPr2PCH2C(=CH2)C(CH2R)C=C(R)}]BF4] (R = Ph (11a), p-tol (11b)). These complexes 11a, b can be explained as a result of the coupling of three organic fragments in the molecule, the alkynyl, the vinylidene, generated in situ by reaction with HBF4 (A), and the C-C double bond from the alkenylphosphane. DFT computational studies on the formation of complex 11a suggest the 2 + 2] intramolecular cycloaddition between the double bond of the allylphosphane and the Ca-Cß of the vinylidene A as the most plausible pathway for this reaction.
