Abstract

Abstract A series of ynenyl allyl ethers were rearranged into polysubstituted furans in the presence of a gold (I) catalyst. It is proposed that the transformation involves a Claisen-type rearrangement that allows the efficient creation of quaternary centers under mild experimental conditions.
