title: Synthesis of 2-cyclohexenone derivatives via gold(I)-catalyzed hydrative cyclization of 1,6-diynes.
abstract: The gold(I) complex (MeAuPPh3) was found to be a highly effective catalyst for the hydrative cyclization of 1,6-diynes to form the corresponding 3-methyl hex-2-enone derivatives with good to excellent yield. The proposed mechanism is described.
