title: Gold-catalyzed benzannulation of 5-hydroxy-3-oxoalk-6-ynoate esters to o-phenolic esters.
abstract: A synthetic method to prepare o-phenolic esters efficiently by gold(I)-catalyzed benzannulation of 5-hydroxy-3-oxoalk-6-ynoate esters under mild conditions that did not require the exclusion of air or moisture is described.
