The Au(I)-catalyzed regioselective hydration of γ-acetoxy-α,β-acetylinic ester by the assistance of a neighboring carbonyl group has been developed. Varieties of simple primary, secondary, and tertiary γ-acetoxy-α,β-acetylinic esters, even those bearing sensitive functional group in the remote reaction sites, are selectively hydrated to the corresponding β-keto esters. The reaction tolerates a wide variety of other carboxylates, such as benzoates, propionates, acrylates, and pivalates, including chiral carboxylates with retention of the configuration. The broad substrate scope, including the derivatization of complex natural products and neutral and open air conditions, makes this atom economical approach very practical. 18O labeling experiments disclose that the oxygen transposition occurs from the carboxylate group to the triple bond, not from water.

A highly selective and efficient Pt-catalyzed pentannulation reaction beginning from propargylic esters is described. The key to this reaction is the use of a PtCl2(PPh3)2/PhIO catalyst combination that allows the in situ
