Gold-catalyzed cycloisomerizations of 1, 5-and 1, 6-enynes represent important advances in modern catalysis.[1] These reactions provide unusual and diverse carbocyclic compounds that are not readily synthesized by common methods. Importantly, such cycloisomerizations allow facile access to naturally occurring compounds.[2, 3] As gold-catalyzed enyne cycloisomerizations occur exclusively under intramolecular conditions, little effort has been devoted to the study of intermolecular reactions between alkynes and alkenes.[4, 5] Hashmi et al. studied the gold-catalyzed reaction of phenylacetylene with excess 2, 5-furan, which gave the desired 2-phenyl-3, 5-dimethylphenol in a low yield (Scheme 1).[4] Very recently, Echavarren and co-workers reported the efficient synthesis of cyclobutene derivatives by gold-catalyzed intermolecular [2+ 2] cycloadditions of phenylacetylenes with alkenes.[5] Intermolecular reactions of alkynes with alkenes can also be performed with nickel and cobalt complexes to give acyclic butene or butadiene derivatives.[6, 7] We investigated new intermolecular reactions of alkynes with alkenes catalyzed by gold complexes. Herein, we report [4+ 2] cycloadditions of 2-arylynamides with alkenes, and [2+ 2+ 2] cycloadditions of arylynamides with enol ethers (Scheme 1). To our knowledge, there are no analogous inter-or intramolecular reactions for this type of [2+ 2+ 2] cycloaddition.[7] Recently, there has been considerable interest in the electrophilic activation of ynamides and alkynyl ethers. Such substrates are studied because they are more electrophilic than other, more common alkynes in reactions catalyzed by gold compounds.[8–10] These effects arise from the polarized πalkyne character of the substrate–catalyst complex (I, which can also be drawn as the ketene resonance structure (II), Scheme 2) and can control the regioselectivity of reactions.
