Abstract
On treatment with catalytic amounts of gold(I) chloride (AuCl) and a base co-catalyst, O-propargyl carbamates smoothly undergo a 5-exo-dig cyclization at room temperature to afford 4-methylene-2-oxazolidinones in high yield. Substrates with a substituent at the alkyne terminus stereoselectively give rise to (Z)-4-alkylidene-2-oxazolidinones.

General Procedure for the AuCl-Catalyzed Cyclization of O
-Propargyl Carbamates: To a solution of an O-propargyl carbamate (6 or 8a-8f; 0.5 mmol) and a base co-catalyst (0.025 mol, 5 mol%) in solvent (2 mL) was added AuCl (0.025 mol, 5 mol%). The mixture was stirred at r.t. or 60 °C for the time specified in Tables
[2]
and
[3]
. Conversion was monitored by TLC and/or GLC analyses. The reaction mixture was filtered through a small pad of Celite® (elution with CH2Cl2). Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure and purification of the residue by flash chromatog-raphy on SiO2 (cyclohexane-EtOAc, 3:1) afforded the products (7 or 9) as colorless oils or solids.
