title: Gold(I)-catalyzed stereoselective formation of functionalized 2,5-dihydrofurans.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A study concerning the gold(I)-catalyzed rearrangement of butynediol monobenzoates into functionalized 2,5-dihydrofurans is described. The mild reaction conditions employed allow the efficient and rapid stereoselective synthesis of a variety of 2,5-dihydrofurans via a sequence of two gold(I)-catalyzed isomerization steps.
