Vinylidene complexes have attracted much attention for being unique reactive intermediate and synthetically useful, and characteristic reactions have been developed using various kinds of transition-metal complexes.[1] One of the main reactions involves the addition of heteroatom nucleophiles such as alcohols, carboxylates, and carbamates to give anti-Markovnikov addition products.[1] However, the addition of the heteroatom of C= X bonds to the vinylidene carbon atom has rarely been achieved in spite of the high synthetic potential of the zwitterionic intermediates that are produced.[2] Herein, we report a rhodium (I)-catalyzed [4+ 1] cycloaddition reaction between α, β-unsaturated imines and terminal alkynes for the preparation of synthetically useful, substituted pyrrole derivatives through the addition of the imine nitrogen atom to rhodium vinylidene intermediates.[3]When a mixture of β-TMS-substituted α, β-unsaturated imine 1a and 1-octyne (2a) was treated with a catalytic amount of [{RhCl (coe) 2} 2] and PCy3 in toluene at 1108C for nine hours, pyrrole 3a (a formal [4+ 1] cycloaddition product)[4] was obtained in good yield (Scheme 1). In this reaction [{RhCl (coe) 2} 2], as well as other phosphine ligands such as PPh3, P (iPr) 3, 1, 4-bis (diphenylphosphanyl) butane (dppb), and 1, 1’-bis (diphenylphosphanyl) ferrocene (dppf) showed almost no activity. Also,[{RhOH (cod)} 2](cod= 1, 5-cyclooctadiene),[Rh (cod) 2] BF4, and [{IrCl (coe) 2} 2] in the presence of PCy3 did not show any activity either. Meanwhile,[{RhCl (cod) 2} 2]/PCy3
