The gold(I)-catalyzed reaction of acetylene gas with alkenes leads to (Z,Z)-1,4-disubstituted 1,3-butadienes and biscyclopropanes depending on the donor ligand on gold(I). Acetylene was generated in situ from calcium carbide and water in a user-friendly procedure. Reaction of acetylene with 1,5-dienes gives rise stereoselectively to tricyclo[5.1.0.0<sup>2,4</sup> ]octanes. This novel double cyclopropanation has been applied to the one step total synthesis of the natural product waitziacuminone f ...[more]
