[reaction: see text] Cationic rhodium(I)-catalyzed intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloadditions of diene-tethered alkynyl halides were found to occur in good yields (70-87%). The halide moiety is compatible with the cycloaddition reactions, and no oxidative insertion to the alkynyl halide was observed. The halogen-containing cycloadducts could be transformed into a variety of products that are difficult or impossible to obtain via direct cycloaddition.
