Metal-catalyzed cycloisomerization of 1,n-enynes has appeared as a highly attractive methodology for the synthesis of original carbo- and heterocycles. This chapter intends to propose an overview of the recent and seminal advances in 1,n-enynes cycloisomerization reactions in the presence of carbophilic transition metals. The recent mechanistic insights, the enantioselective versions, and the applications in total synthesis are highlighted.

The avermectins make up a biologically relevant class of complex natural products that continue to inspire the development of new strategies in chemical synthesis. Herein, we disclose a concise synthesis of the southern core of avermectin aglycon. The key hydrobenzofuran was forged by either reductive cyclization or cycloisomerization, both using a cationic palladium precatalyst.

Helical fused anthracenes were elongated by fusing additional aromatic units at both ends to yield novel expanded helicenes. Compounds [5]HA2N and [7]HA consisting of 19 and 21 benzene rings, respectively, were synthesized by fourfold cycloisomerization of the corresponding terminal alkyne precursors. The helical structures were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis, where the aromatic frameworks stacked effectively with the helical turn numbers exceeding two.

An unexpected cascade reaction of enyne-amides with sulfur-ylides has been developed. This cascade reaction involves cycloisomerization, dearomatic cyclopropanation, ring-opening rearomatization, and subsequent cyclopropanation, differing from the common [2 + n] cyclization of enyne-amides. A variety of (spirocyclopropane)dihydrofuran derivatives have been efficiently and conveniently synthesized in a single vessel, exhibiting excellent diastereoselectivity and good functional group tolerance.

Gold-catalyzed propargylic substitution of propargylic alcohols with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds followed by cycloisomerization in ionic liquid enables the environmentally friendly synthesis of polysubstituted furans in good-to-high yields. The reaction proceeds via the hydrated propargylic substitution product . The gold catalyst can be recycled at least three times.
