Abstract

[4+3] cycloaddition arenynamide epoxide gold catalysis retention
Golden opportunity: [4+3] Cycloaddition reactions of arenynamides and epoxides are enabled under gold catalysis and have a broad substrate scope (see scheme; Ms=methanesulfonyl). An S N 2-type front-side attack of phenyl at the oxiranyl ring is expected to cause the retention of stereochemistry. Copyright © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
