Abstract
A gold(I)-catalyzed formal [4 + 1] cycloaddition of α-diazoesters and propargyl alcohols provides various 2,5-dihydrofurans with a broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance. Preliminary mechanistic investigation indicates that this reaction most likely occurs through a 5-endo-dig cyclization of an α-hydroxy allene intermediate.
