Abstract

Diyne substrates bearing one propargylic ether instead of the previously published propargylic acetates were subjected to a gold catalyst. α−Naphthol derivatives were obtained as products of the cycloisomerization. The close relationship of the products to the corresponding cyclizations implicated a related mechanistic scenary at first, but further studies favour a mechanistic pathway that is completely different.
