Abstract

We have developed an expedient method for the synthesis of polycyclic compounds from propargyl acetates or vinyl allenes involving up to three Au(I)-catalyzed elemental steps: 3,3-rearrangement, metalla-Nazarov reaction, and electrophilic cyclopropanation. The reaction proceeds under very mild conditions and in short times. The mechanism has been studied by DFT computations.
