Gold-Catalyzed Addition-N-Boc Cleavage-Cyclization of N,O-Acetal with Ynamides for Construction of 6-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyl)oxy-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-c][1,3]oxazin-1-ones.

A highly efficient gold-catalyzed approach between N,O-acetals and ynamides for the construction of 6-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-c][1,3]oxazin-1-ones was developed. This reaction tolerated a wide range of substituted N,O-acetals and TsN-substituted ynamides, leading to novel heterocycles in moderate to good yields and with excellent diastereoselectivities (dr > 99:1).
