title: Au(I)-catalyzed synthesis of 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-enes and 9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nona-2,6-dienes from enynol via oxonium/Prins-type cyclization.
abstract: A sustainable and simple Au(I) catalytic system to synthesise 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-enes and 9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nona-2,6-dienes from enynol via oxonium/Prins-type cyclization is described. The key advantages of this reaction are selectivity, good functional group tolerance and a new approach for synthesis of oxabicyclic and oxatricyclic systems.
