Gold-Catalysed Oxidative Cycloisomerisation of 1,6-Diyne Acetates to 1-Naphthyl Ketones
A synthetic method to prepare 1-naphthyl ketones from gold(i)-catalysed oxidative cycloisomerisation of 1,6-diyne acetates is described. The proposed mechanism involves cyclopropenation–cycloreversion of the 1,6-diyne motif initiated by a 1,2-acyloxy migration. This is followed by nucleophilic attack of the ensuing gold carbenoid species by a molecule of water and autoxidation to give the aromatic product.
