entries 1-3). The N- and O-regioselectivity is postulated to be
reversible,[10] and electron-deficient phosphite ligands increases
the elctrophilicity of gold carbene C to form intermediate D very
preferably, thus controlling the entire O-attack regioselectivity.

Scheme 2. A plausible mechanism for this relay catalysis.
In summary, gold-catalyzed one-pot annulations of
propiolates with benzisoxazoles to yield quinoline oxides are
described. These annulations were compatible with substrates
over a wide scope. Chemical functionalizations of these resulting
products afforded various oxygenated tetrahydroquinolines that
are present as the cores of bioactive molecules. We developed
also a new relay catalysis using gold and Zn(II) catalysts to
produce highly oxygenated tetrahydroquinoline derivatives
stereoselectively.

A two-neck flask was charged with (PhO)3PAuCl (26.8 mg, 0.049 mmol)
and AgSbF6 (17.0 mg, 0.049 mmol), MS 4Å (50 mg), and to this mixture
was added dry DCE (1.0 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at room
temperature for 10 min, and to this mixture was added a dry DCE
solution (2 mL) of tert-butyl 3-phenylpropiolate (1a) (100.0 mg, 0.495
mmol) and benzo[c]isoxazole (2a) (70.8 mg, 0.594 mmol). After stirring at
80 °C for 7 h, the reaction mixture was filtered over a short celite bed,
washed with dry acetone, concentrated, and eluted through a silica
column (EA/hexane = 1/50) to give quinoline oxide (3a) (135.0 mg, 0.42
mmol, 85%) as colorless solid.
