A novel gold-catalyzed tandem protocol, initiated by hydride transfer in the presence of catalytic (C6 F5 )3 PAuCl/AgSbF6 , for the formation of fused polycyclic ring systems has been achieved. This tandem reaction provides rapid access to various fused polycyclic species in a single chemical operation, leading to stereospecific formation of two carbon-carbon bonds and three rings.
