A class of alkenyl propargyl acetates, RCH(OAc)C≡CC(CH 3)=CH2 (5), are found to undergo [4 + 1] cycloaddition with CO (1 atm) in the presence of [RhCl(CO)2]2 in refluxing 1,2-dichloroethane to give cyclopentenones (6) in good yields. It has been demonstrated that, when the R group of 5 is a phenyl group bearing o-electron-withdrawing substituents, up to 10:1 diastereoselectivity and 96% yield can be achieved for the [4 + 1] cycloaddition. This process provides a convenient method to construct highly functionalized cyclopentenones that are useful in organic synthesis.

Cyclopentenylidene gold complexes can easily be formed from vinyl allenes through a Nazarov-like mechanism. Such carbenes may transform in four different ways into polycyclic frameworks: electrophilic cyclopropanation, C-H insertion, C-C migration, or proton shift. We have studied the selectivity of these different pathways and used our findings for the expedient preparation of valuable complex molecules. An application to the total synthesis of a natural product, Δ9(12)-capnellene,is presented. DFT computations were carried out to shed light on the me chanisms.

Acyloxylated divinyl ketones are conveniently formed by a new gold(l)-catalyzed rearrangement of (3-acyloxyprop-1-ynyl)oxiranes.
