A gold-catalyzed alkylation of alcohols and aromatic compounds is described. The reaction of ortho-alkynylbenzoic acid alkyl esters with alcohols or aromatic compounds occurs in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ph3PAuCl and AgOTf under mild conditions to produce corresponding ethers or Friedel-Crafts alkylation products in good to high yields. The reaction likely proceeds through the gold-induced in situ construction of leaving groups and subsequent nucleophilic attack of alcohols or aromatic compounds.
