Abstract

Intramolecular cyclization of nitrogen-tethered alkynyl esters catalyzed by phosphazene organosuperbases P2-tBu and P4-tBu was investigated. Both acyclic and cyclic substrates underwent 5-exo-dig and 5-endo-dig cyclization. This reaction is a rare example of the intramolecular addition of enolates of simple esters to alkynes.
