Construction of spirocarbocycles via gold-catalyzed intramolecular dearomatization of naphthols.

ABSTRACT: A highly efficient, gold-catalyzed intramolecular dearomatization reaction of naphthols via 5-endo-dig cyclization is described. This facile and direct approach furnishes spirocarbocycles in excellent yields under mild conditions.
