A1 and propargyl alcohol 2a. A2 or A3 led to 3a via a proposed
migratory insertion of the activated C≡C triple bond into the
Pd(II)-C bond. 4a and 5a were also formed from oxonium ylide
A2 via 2, 3-σ-rearrangement and 1, 2-proton shift, while 6a was
formed from A1 and 2a via cyclopropenation. The formation of
A2 is more favourable than 6a due to the high electrophilic
character of the carbene carbon that favors the hydroxyl
attack.

In conclusion, we have developed a Pd(II)-catalyzed formal
[4+1] cyclization of diazoacetates and aryl propargyl alcohols,
furnishing 2, 5-dihydrofuran derivatives as the dominant
product over those from other traditional reaction pathways.
This is the first example of trapping of oxonium ylides with
alkynes. In this auto-tandem catalytic process, the Pd(II)
catalyst not only catalyzed the formation of the protic
oxonium ylide, but also activated the alkyne moiety to trap the
highly active intermediate.
