main observation and conclusion RhCl(PPh3)(3)-catalyzed [4+2] intramolecular cycloaddition of optically active axially chiral allene-dienes afforded cis-fused [3.4.0]-bicyclic products with three chiral centers in good yields with an excellent chemo- and diastereoselectivity. A pair of enantiomers of such products was generated highly selectively from both enantiomers of starting allene-dienes, indicating that the axial chirality dictated the absolute configurations of the three in situ generated chiral centers with a very high efficiency of chirality transfer.
