Abstract

A gold-catalyzed cascade cycloisomerization/ring-opening reaction of allenyl ketones bearing a cyclopropyl moiety with a wide variety of alcohols or ketones is developed. This reaction involves an unprecedented 1,2-gold carbene transfer to provide regioselective and modular access to tri- or tetrasubstituted furans in moderate to high yields and with broad substrate tolerability.
