title: Synthesis of functionalized furans via gold(I)-catalyzed Claisen-type rearrangement.
abstract: Gold(I)-catalyzed cyclization of pentenynyl allyl ethers allows the rapid construction of functionalized furans. The concerted oxy-Claisen-type mechanism induces a complete selectivity of the process and allows the easy formation of quaternary centers.
