Gold-catalyzed intermolecular oxidation of carboxylates of primary or secondary propargylic alcohols are realized with excellent regioselectivity, which is ascribed to inductive polarization of the C-C triple bond by the electron-withdrawing carboxy group. The gold carbene intermediates thus generated undergo selective 1,2-acyloxy migration over a 1,2-C-H insertion, and the selectivities could be dramatically improved by the use of a P,S-bidentate ligand, which is proposed to enable the formatio ...[more]
