Abstract

Abstract Image

Cationic triphenylphosphinegold(I) complexes are excellent catalysts for a cascade reaction of propargyl-Claisen rearrangement and heterocyclization to synthesize tri- and tetrasubstituted furans. Starting from easily accessed propargyl vinyl ethers, the furans are obtained in 72−99% yield.
