A Rh-catalyzed tandem annulation and (5 + 1) cycloaddition was realized. 3-Hydroxy-1,4-enyne served as the new 5-carbon component for the (5 + 1) cycloaddition. Substituted carbazoles, dibenzofurans, and tricyclic compounds containing a cyclohexadienone moiety could be prepared efficiently. The identification of a byproduct suggests that metal carbene and ketene intermediates may be involved in the (5 + 1) cycloaddition.
