Abstract

A mild and stereoselective gold(I)-catalyzed domino transformation of propargylic esters leading to substituted (1E,3E)-dienes has been developed. This cascade process proceeds via a sequence of 1,3-acyloxy- or 1,3-phosphatyloxy migrations to form allenic intermediate followed by a proton transfer.
