Abstract
The first gold(III)-catalyzed regioselective oxidation/cycloisomerization of diynes 1 with pyridine N-oxide as the oxidant was developed, providing a range of synthetically valuable and useful fused furan derivatives 3 in moderate to good yields. Control experiments and the confirmation structure of minor products 5 suggest that this chemistry was a concerted gold(III)-catalyzed oxidation/SN2'-type addition/cyclization process via a β-gold vinyloxypyridinium intermediate and a putative vinyl cation intermediate.
