title: Cycloisomerization of omega-aryl-1-alkynes: GaCl3 as a highly electrophilic catalyst for alkyne activation.
abstract: Cycloisomerization of a variety of omega-aryl-1-alkynes, where omega = 5 or 6, in the presence of a catalytic amount of GaCl3 provided dihydronaphthalene derivatives or dihydrobenzocycloheptenes, respectively, in high yields.
