Abstract

An interesting and highly selective gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization of 2-aryl-2-(arylamino)-3-butyn-1-ols to afford 2-(2′-aminoaryl)-2,5-dihydrofurans has been reported. The reaction is atom economic and highly efficient, and tolerates many functional groups including the cyano and allyl groups. A plausible mechanism for this new cycloismerization is also proposed. (Figure presented.).
