Abstract

An efficient gold-catalyzed procedure to synthesize 2-alkylidene-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines has been developed starting from 2-alkynyl-substituted phenols. This is an intramolecular hydroalkoxylation reaction on alkynes tethered to a phenol moiety that represents a valuable alternative to the already reported transition-metal-catalyzed procedures.

Key words

transition metals - heterocycles - alkynes - phenols - fused-ring systems
