Abstract: A coupling reaction between salicylaldehyde and phenylacetylene was catalyzed by well-defined rhodium complexes, Rh(cod)(l-amino acid) (cod is 1,5-cyclooctadiene; l-amino acid is l-proline, l-phenylalanine and l-valine), to give a flavonoid in 40–88% yield, providing a method for flavonoid synthesis. The coupling reactions catalyzed by Rh(cod)(l-amino acid)s gave higher yields than those by [Rh(cod)Cl]2 without l-amino acid ligands. The reaction mechanism may be that l-amino acid ligands of the rhodium complexes can provide an empty track for phenylacetylene to form a ring structure that fractures to produce the aim flavonoid and RhIX species. Then, the active RhIX specie is oxidized to regenerate RhIIIX3 by Cu(OAC)2.
