In organometallic chemistry, ketenes have often been generated in situ by the coupling of the carbene and carbon monoxide ligands on the metal,[4] which has been implicated as a key step in several useful synthetic reactions, such as benzannulations,[5] ketene–imine or ketene–alkene cycloadditions,[6] and electrophilic substitution reactions.[7] In sharp contrast, the reverse reaction, cleavage of a ketene ligand to carbene and CO ligands on a single metal center, is extremely rare,[8] and, in general, metal–CO complexes and alkenes, probably derived from the dimerization of carbene ligands, are formed.[9] Based on our research on rhodium-,[10] ruthenium-,[11] and palladium-catalyzed [12] coupling reactions of heterocumulenic compounds, such as isocyanates and ketenes, with alkynes, we have developed novel rhodium-catalyzed decarbonylative coupling reactions of diphenylketene with alkenes. The reaction of diphenylketene 1a with 2-norbornene 2a gave the corresponding substituted cyclopropane, 3, 3-diphenyltricyclo-[3.2. 1.02, 4] octane (3a), whereas the reaction with electron-deficient alkenes, 2b–d, gave linear coupling products 4a–c, by decarbonylation. In these reactions, diphenylketene could be safely used as an efficient diphenyl carbene source.[13] The reaction of 1a (3.0 mmol) with 2a (1.0 mmol) in the presence of [{RhCl (CO) 2} 2] catalyst (0.050 mmol) in toluene at 1208C for 12 h under an argon atmosphere gave 3a in 81% yield, together with the formation of a stoichiometric amount of CO [0.90 mmol; Eq.(1)].
