Abstract
The scope and limitations of Eaton's rhodium(I)‐catalyzed valence isomerization of cubane to cyclooctatetraene (COT) were investigated in the context of functional group tolerability, multiple substitution modes and the ability of cubane‐alcohols to undergo one‐pot tandem Ley–Griffith Wittig reactions in the absence of a transition metal catalyst.
