Gold(I)-catalyzed enantioselective [4 + 2]-cycloaddition of allene-dienes.

ABSTRACT: An enantioselective gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular [4 + 2]-cycloaddition of allenes and dienes is reported. The reactions allow for the asymmetric synthesis of trans-hexahydroindenes and pyrrolidine products using C(3)-symmetric phosphitegold(I) and ortho-arylphosphoramiditegold(I) complexes as catalysts, respectively.
