Abstract

Abstract The formation of six-and seven-membered ring ethers from hydroxy-tethered propargylic esters was efficiently catalyzed by a cationic gold (I) complex with a semihollow- shaped triethynylphosphane ligand. This gold catalysis showed a tolerance toward the reactions of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohol substrates with various substitution patterns. A sterically congested 2, 2, 6, 6-tetraalkyl-substituted tetrahydropyran derivative ...
