Diastereoselective gamma-vinyl butyrolactone synthesis via gold catalyzed cyclization of allylic acetate.
An efficient method for the preparation of polysubstituted gamma-vinyl butyrolactones was developed through gold catalyzed highly diastereoselective cyclization of the malonate substituted allylic acetates.
