Abstract
Intermolecular annulation of enynes and propargyl esters to selectively produce styrenes or fluorenes is reported. The divergent arene syntheses involve a Au-catalyzed, two-pot, multistep process proceeding by cis-diastereoselective cyclopropanation, cycloisomerization, and, finally, annulation or elimination.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
