Pt-Catalyzed Tandem 1,2-Acyloxy Migration/Intramolecular [3+2] Cycloaddition of Enynyl Esters
A platinum-catalyzed tandem reaction involving enynyl ester isomerization and subsequent intramolecular [3 + 2] cyclization has been developed. This strategy provides an efficient approach to five-, six-, or seven-membered cyclic polyfunctional compounds.
