Gold(i)-catalyzed rearrangement of aryl alkynylaziridines to spiro[isochroman-4,2′-pyrrolines]

Abstract

Alkynylaziridines carrying an aryl group could be efficiently converted to spiro[isochroman-4,2′-pyrrolines] with gold salts as catalysts. This new rearrangement involved a Friedel–Crafts type intramolecular reaction followed by cyclization of the aminoallene intermediate, both initiated by the dual σ and π Lewis acidities of gold.
