The rhodium-catalyzed formal C(sp³)-H activation/spiroannulation of α-arylidene pyrazolones with alkynes was investigated by means of density functional theory calculations. The calculations indicate that the spiroannulation through the proposed C-C reductive elimination is kinetically unfeasible. Instead, the C-C coupling from the eight-membered rhodacycle was proposed to account for the experimental results. The overall catalytic cycle consists of six steps:(1) the keto-enol isomerization; (2) the O-H deprotonation, (3) the C(sp²)-H bond cleavage; (4) the migratory insertion of alkyne into the Rh-C bond; (5) the C-C coupling and (6) the regeneration of the active catalyst.
