Nature has presented us with a seemingly innumerable range of oxygen-containing cyclic frameworks, challenging organic chemists to devise efficient, mild, and increasingly general procedures for their preparation.[1] Many interesting molecular architectures have been identified as recurring challenges; our continued efforts in the areas of metal-catalyzed hydroalkoxylation of alkynes,[2] propargylic substitutions, and cycloisomerization of propargylic esters [3] have led us to address some of these challenges. Previously, we demonstrated that w-hydroxy propargylic acetates of type 1 could undergo a gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization to form the corresponding enolacetates 2, as well as undergoing platinum-catalyzed propargylic substitution to ethers of type 3 (Scheme 1).[3] The former transformation provided entry to synthetically useful b-keto tetrahydropyran building blocks, such as 4, after methanolysis of the enolacetates 2, thereby establishing a platform from which to synthesize more-complex polyketide natural products bearing the 1, 3-dioxygenation pattern. Recently, Jung and Floreancig reported a route to b-keto tetrahydropyrans via a gold-catalyzed cyclization of w-hydroxy propargylic ethers.[4, 5] Whilst this method is very useful, we postulated that we could access these b-keto tetrahydropyrans directly from propargylic alcohols (1! 4; R= H), thereby eliminating the need to activate the propargylic alcohol via etherification or esterification. Furthermore, we also wanted to investigate the possibility of engaging the propargylic unit in a cyclization with a pendant nucleophile embedded within a tether located distal from the propargylic center (5). We postulated that this operation would lead to cyclic dienolethers 6, an important structural motif used as synthetic intermediates and present in a number of natural products, such as the anti-inflammatory falconensins [6] and the heart-blocking agent anhydrocunaniol.[7] Herein, we report the successful execution of these objectives.During an initial screen to discover catalysts that would perform the direct cycloisomerization of propargylic alcohols, we found Zeise s dimer,[{Cl2PtACHTUNGTRENNUNG (CH2CH2)} 2], to be superior to other systems trialed, including gold (I) systems. As shown in Table 1, the platinum (II)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of propargylic alcohols into b-keto tetrahydropyrans occurs under mild conditions (CH2Cl2, RT, open to air), with a broad substrate scope for internal alkynes. Terminal alkynes failed to give the desired b-keto tetrahydropyrans (Table 1, entry 1), as did substrates with sterically encumbering substituents on the alkyne (eg, TMS, tBu; Table 1, entries 3 and 4), resulting in recovery of starting material and some decomposition. However, aromatic (Table 1, entry 2), cycloalkyl (Table 1, entry 5), and alkyl substituents (Table 1, entries6–8) were converted in very good yields (greater than 80%). The scope of this method was easily extended to prepare other classes of heterocycles. The inclusion of additional oxygen atoms into the tether (Table 1, entries 9–12) provided access to 1, 4-dioxanes, whilst nitrogen inclusion (NÀBoc, Table 1, entries 13–15) generated morpholines. The
