Abstract
A gold-catalyzed oxidative reaction of propargylic carbonates or acetates using 3,5-dichloropyridine as the oxidant provides efficient access to α-functionalized-α,β-unsaturated ketones with excellent regio- and diastereocontrol. In addition, these alkene products could be further transformed into valuable 5-hydroxycyclopent-2-enones via cyclocondensation with acetone or cyclodimerization under basic conditions.
