The activation of the carbon-carbon bond by homogeneous catalysts is of current interest in organometallic chemistry. 1 However, a few examples of the homogeneous catalytic activation of the CC bond by transition metal have been reported: 2-9 the decarbonylative cleavage of the CC bond, 3 the β-alkyl elimination of the homoallyl alcohol, 4 the β-decarboxylative ring opening of cyclic carbonate, 5 the ring cleavage of tert-cyclobutanol, 6 and so on. Especially, ring-cleavages of cycloalkanones by transition metal catalyst have been limited to strained cyclic ketones such as cyclopropenone, 7 cyclobutenone, 8 and cyclobutanones9 to take advantage of the release of the ring strain. On the other hand, catalytic CC bond cleavages of large unstrained ring-sized cycloalkanones are rare. We recently reported on the new catalytic CC bond activation of unstrained ketone compounds. 10 In this report, we wish to describe the ring-opening of an unstrained cycloalkanone imine and its skeletal rearrangement. The reaction of cycloalkanoketimine 1, prepared from cycloalkanone and 2-amino-3-picoline, 11 with 1-hexene (2, 1000 mol% based on 1) was carried out in the presence of [(C8H14) 2RhCl] 2 (3, 3 mol% based on 1) and Cy3P (6 mol%) to yield a mixture of the ring-opened alkenyl ketones 4 and 7-tridecanone (5) after hydrolysis (eq 1). 12Alkenyl ketone 4, consisting of terminal and internal olefins, 13 can be hydrogenated by 1 atm of H2 on Pd/C to give saturated alkyl ketone 6. Initially, the CC bond in ketimine 1 is cleaved by rhodium (I) in 3 to give an (iminoacyl) rhodium (III) metallacyclic complex 7, followed by β-hydrogen elimination to effect rhodium (III) hydride 8 (Scheme 1). In the presence of 2, the olefin
