title: Gold and Brønsted acid catalyzed hydride shift onto allenes: divergence in product selectivity.
abstract: A series of allenyl ethers can be transformed into various fused or spiro tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans following a hydride shift/cyclization sequence. A divergence in product selectivity, which depends on the nature of the catalyst used (Au(I) complex or Brønsted acid), was observed.
