Abstract
The steric and electronic drivers of 5-exo and 6-endo regioselectivity in platinum-catalyzed intramolecular hydroalkoxylation are elucidated. The main influence arises from an electronic effect, where the alkyne substituent induces a polarization of the alkyne that leads to preferential heteroatom attack at the more electron-deficient carbon.
