title: Ambient gold-catalyzed O-vinylation of cyclic 1,3-diketone: A vinyl ether synthesis.
abstract: Gold-catalyzed O-vinylation of cyclic 1,3-diketones has been achieved for the first time, which provides direct access to various vinyl ethers. A catalytic amount of copper triflate was identified as the significant additive in promoting this transformation. Both aromatic and aliphatic alkynes are suitable substrates with good to excellent yields.
