Broad Scope Aminocyclization of Enynes with Cationic JohnPhos-Gold(I) Complex as the Catalyst.

ABSTRACT: A practical aminocyclization of 1,6-enynes with a wide variety of substituted anilines, including N-alkyl anilines, has been achived by using cationic [JohnPhosAu(MeCN)]SbF6 as a general purpose catalyst. The resulting adducts can be easily converted into polycyclic compounds by palladium- and gold-catalyzed reactions.
