Abstract

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3: In a one-pot sequence, two stereocenters and three new bonds were created with high selectivity through an asymmetric alkynylation of acyl silanes, a tandem Brook-type rearrangement and Zn-ene-allene cyclization, the addition of an electrophile, and finally oxidation (see scheme). The straightforward nature of the synthetic procedure contrasts strongly with the complexity of the densely functionalized products obtained.
