More Details:
Demonstrated herein is a keteniminium triggered dienone-phenol rearrangement of yne-dienone and a regioselective intramolecular 6-endo-dig cyclization of aryl-propargyl ether cascade for the synthesis of 2H-chromene bearing ketene-N,O-acetals. The gold-catalyst and ynamide combination forms a keteniminium species in-situ and makes the dienone-phenol rearrangement viable with 1,2-migration of common alkyl substituents (methyl, ethyl, and n-propyl) and phenyl group. The transformation tolerates common functional groups and N-sulfonyl protecting groups in ynamides exhibiting broad scope. The transformation proceeds through intramolecular proton transfer to the vinylic gold species; deuterium scrambling study supports this observation.
