title: Gold(I)-catalyzed three-component additions of 2-(arylmethylene)cyclopropylcarbinols, terminal arynes, and alcohols: an efficient access to 3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes.
abstract: Catalyzed by gold(I), (E)- and (Z)-2-(arylmethylene)cyclopropylcarbinols, terminal arynes, and alcohols underwent three-component addition reactions to produce 3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes in high yields and moderate diastereoselectivities under mild conditions. A plausible mechanism based on an intermolecular tandem hydroalkoxylation/Prins-type reaction pathway has been proposed.
