Cationic gold(I)-mediated intramolecular cyclization of 3-alkyne-1,2-diols and 1-amino-3-alkyn-2-ols: a practical route to furans and pyrroles.
The intramolecular cyclizations of the 3-alkyne-1,2-diols and the 1-amino-3-alkyn-2-ols with a low catalyst loading (0.05-0.5 mol %) of (Ph(3)P)AuCl-AgNTf(2) or (Ph(3)P)AuCl-AgOTf proceeded at room temperature to provide a variety of substituted furans and pyrroles in excellent yields (85-98% yields). This method is also fully applicable to the conversion of several dozen grams of the substrate using only 0.05 mol % each of the Au and Ag catalysts.
