Three distinct strategies for catalytic annulations between ynamides and 1-yn-3-ols are described; the resulting carbo- and heterocycles were produced efficiently in one-pot operations using a gold catalyst. The chemoselectivities of these annulations are controlled by variations of the substituents of the ynamides and the 1-yn-3-ols. This reaction sequence involves initial alkoxylations of ynamides, followed by Claisen rearrangement of propargylic enol ethers, and ends with 6-endo-trig cyclizations of 1-allenyl-5-amide intermediates. Among these cascade annulations, the cyclizations of 5-allenyl-1-amides to yield 5,6-dihydro-2-pyranones and 6-alkylenecyclohex-2-ene-1-carboxamides are unprecedented in the literature.
