摘要
The mechanism and origin of the Cp^(X) ligand effects on Rh-catalyzed annulations with alkynes were inves-tigated using DFT calculations and the approach of energy decomposition analysis(EDA).The results reveal that the alkyne migratory insertion is the rate-determining step for the reactions with both acetanilide and 2-phenyl-2-propanol substrates.
