Gold-Catalyzed Reactions of o-Alkynylarylaldehydes with Alkenes for the Synthesis of 3,4-Dihydronaphthalene Derivatives
{{output}}
Herein, we report a selective synthesis of 3,4-dihydronaphthalene derivatives from o-quinodimethane (o-QDM) intermediates by gold(I). This method is achieved through [(BINAP)2Au2(BArF4)2]-catalyzed reactions of o-alkynylarylaldehydes with alkenes following 1,5... ...
