Abstract

The hypervalent iodine reagent PIFA promotes the efficient intramolecular electrophilic cyclization of easily accessible alkynylamides and alkynyl carboxylic acids, leading to pyrrolidinone and lactone skeletons, respectively. A synthetic study and a mechanistic proposal for these transformations are presented.
