Abstract
Gold(III) chloride catalyzes a cyclization of functionalized α-hydroxyallenes into the corresponding 2,5-dihydrofurans with complete axis to center chirality transfer. This mild and efficient method can be applied to alkyl- and alkenyl-substituted allenes at room temperature, furnishing tri- and tetrasubstituted dihydrofurans in very good yields.
