An efficient synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted furans directly from alkynyl ketones has been developed via tandem gold(i)-catalyzed isomerization of alkynyl ketones to allenyl ketones and cycloisomerization. The key to the success of this chemistry is the use of a biphenyl-2-ylphosphine ligand featuring a critical remote tertiary amino group.

A phosphine-catalyzed intermolecular annulation reaction of functionalized ortho-aminoacetophenones with alkynones has been disclosed in this paper. A variety of 2-alkynylquinolines and benzo-fused indolizine were selectively afforded in moderate to good yields at different reaction temperatures and with different phosphine catalysts via the in situ generated zwitterionic intermediate derived from alkynone and phosphine.

The [(NHC)AuI]-catalyzed (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) formation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (enones and enals) from propargylic acetates is described. The reactions occur at 60°C in 8 h in the presence of an equimolar mixture of [(NHC)AuCl] and AgSbF6 and produce conjugated enones and enals in high yields. Optimization studies revealed that the reaction is sensitive to the solvent, the NHC, and, to a lesser extent, to the silver salt employed, leading to the use of [(ItBu)AuCl]/ AgSbF6 in THF as an efficient catalytic system. This transformation proved to have a broad scope, enabling the stereoselective formation of (E)-enones and -enals with great structural diversity. The effect of substitution at the propargylic and acetylenic positions has been investigated, as well as the effect of aryl substitution on the formation of cinnamyl ketones. The presence or absence of water in the reaction mixture was found to be crucial. From the same phenylpropargyl acetates, anhydrous conditions led to the formation of indene compounds via a tandem [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement/intramolecular hydroarylation process, whereas simply adding water to the reaction mixture produced enone derivatives cleanly. Several mechanistic hypotheses, including the hydrolysis of an allenol ester intermediate and SN2′ addition of water, were examined to gain an insight into this transformation. Mechanistic investigations and computational studies support [(NHC)AuOH], produced in situ from [(NHC)AuSbF6] and H 2O, instead of cationic [(NHC)AuSbF6] as the catalytically active species. Based on DFT calculations performed at the B3LYP level of theory, a full catalytic cycle featuring an unprecedented transfer of the OH moiety bound to the gold center to the C≡C bond leading to the formation of a gold-allenolate is proposed.
