Abstract
Au(I)-catalyzed oxidative cyclizations that successfully convert 1,5-ene-ynes and a 1,6-ene-yne to the corresponding cycloalkanone-fused cyclopropanes are described. This Au(I)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization can be effectively applied to various substrates and is an alternative to the previously used intramolecular cyclopropanation that required potentially explosive diazo compound.
