Stable unsubstituted 1,2‐oxarhodacyclobutanes (2‐rhodaoxetanes) are obtained upon oxidation of [Rh I (ethene)‘N 4 ’] + complexes [Eq. (a)]. Similar oxidation of [Rh 1 (cod)‘N 3 ’] + oxarhodacyclobutane intermediate (cod = ( Z,Z ))‐1,5‐cyclooctadiene; ‘N 4 ’ and ‘N 3 ’ = tetra‐ and tridentate ligands. The mechanistically interesting formation of these oxarhodacyclobutanes gives insight into the catalytic oxidation of olefins with late transition metal complexes.
