Abstract

Abstract Ph 3 PAuNTf 2 (≈ 1 mol-%) catalyzes the selective cycloisomerization of substituted aryl propargyl ethers into 2H-chromenes in excellent yields. Benzofuran byproducts are formed only in the case of electron-deficient arenes, in up to 7% relative yield. The Ph 3 PAuNTf 2-catalyzed cyclization of aryl propargyl ethers was applied as a key step to the concise synthesis of the naturally occurring benzopyrans seselin, xanthyletin, ...
