Abstract

Intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of a wide range of functionalized hydroxyallenic esters in the presence catalytic amounts of Ph3PAuCl and AgOTf in CH2Cl2 at 25 °C for 1 h produced selectively 2-alkyl- and aryl-3-ethoxycarbonyl-2,5-dihydrofurans in good to excellent yield by a 5-endo mode.
