The facile formation of the B and C ring of rac-desoxyequilenin and of a chrysenone derivative in just one preparative step is demonstrated, applying a gold-catalyzed domino process, which involves a benzopyrylium cation as the key intermediate and an intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition as the key step.

2,3-Difunctionalization of quinones: a gold-catalyzed cascade approach for trifluoromethyl-amination or sulfoximination.

A one-pot domino protocol employing gold(I) catalysis has been developed for the cascade trifluoromethyl-amination/sulfoximination of quinones. Togni I serves as the trifluoromethyl installing precursor, while amine or sulfoximine serves as the aminating source. Preliminary investigations suggest a mutual activation of Togni I and the amine precursor, facilitating the facile difunctionalization of quinones with excellent regioselectivity.

Article Synopsis
- A gold-catalyzed reaction transforms naphthalene-tethered allenynes into strained fused phenanthrene compounds through a series of nucleophilic actions.
- It generates a vinyl cation intermediate by allowing an alkyne to react with an activated allene, which then attaches to a naphthalene ring.
- Additionally, changing the substrates can yield either 4H-cyclopenta[def]phenanthrene (CPP) structures or dibenzofluorene derivatives, depending on the specific reaction conditions used.

It is reported herein that by exploiting the commonly shared bicyclic decahydroquinoline motif, a gold-catalyzed enamide-alkyne cycloisomerization reaction is developed to access tricyclic cores in a simple way. These tricyclic cores further serve as an advanced platform for the divergent enantioselective collective total syntheses of five Lycopodium alkaloids, belonging to three different structural types, in a concise and protecting-group-free fashion. The key transformations in the second phase include: 1) a transannular reductive Heck cyclization for installation of the azepane ring in fawcettidine, fawcettimine, and lycoposerramine Q; 2) a domino Mukaiyama hydration/Grob fragmentation process for construction of the ten-membered lactam system in phlegmariurine B; 3) a Fukuyama one-pot protocol for the construction of the 2-pyridone motif in lycoposerramine R.

The field of gold catalysis has been in constant expansion during the last twenty years. Based on the precept of π-activation of unsaturated simple substrates, several new rearrangements have been discovered, implying aryl, alkyne, alkene or keto derivatives as key partners. In this personal account, the main contributions in the field of gold catalysis from our group will be highlighted, emphasizing the recent reports, starting from 1,6- and 1,5-enynes and then moving to keto-ynes derivatives.

A novel and mild synthetic route for the preparation of functionalized polycyclic indole skeletons via a gold-mediated cycloisomerization/alkoxylation of 1,6-aldehyde-yne has been developed. This atom-economical catalytic process that associates IPrAu(MeCN)BF and an alcohol demonstrated remarkable selectivity in accessing functionalized 3,4-dihydro-1-[1,4]oxazino[4,3-]indole derivatives of high synthetic utility (21 examples, yields of ≤96%) and could be optimized under asymmetric conditions with an enantiomeric excess of ≤86%.
