The Comment by Holzmann et al. does not properly reflect the conclusions of the original article, as shown in the current response. New calculations on the title compounds, as well as on M(CO)2 (M =
A novel rhodium-catalyzed oxidative cyclocarbonylation of ketimines via cleavage of two C–H bonds was established, which provided a direct and reliable method for the synthesis of a wide range of 3-me
Another aspect concerning chromone chemistry leading to the one-pot synthesis of functionalized novel spirobenzofuranones has been described. The synthesis involves reaction of the zwitterionic interm
