Ebook Gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization reactions through activation of alkynes: New developments and mechanistic studies

Ebook "Gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization reactions through activation of alkynes: New developments and mechanistic studies" shows that O-tethered 1,6-enynes carrying a strained cycloalkane at the propargylic position could undergo a cyclopropanation/ring expansion cascade reaction. The author employed this rearrangement as the starting point in the design of a new macro cycle synthesis.
