Abstract
In the presence of a catalytic amount of Ph3PAuNO3 and H2SO4, the hydroalkoxylation of allenes with alcohols has been shown to proceed smoothly and give allylic ethers in good yields and high regio- and stereoselectivity.
Key words
allenes - catalysis - alcohols - regioselectivity - stereoselectivity - hydroalkoxylation

Typical Experimental
Procedure
To a reactor containing allene (0.5 mmol),
Ph3PAuNO3 (0.01 mmol), and alcohol (0.6 mmol)
was added H2SO4 (0.025 mmol). The mixture
was then sealed and stirred at 40 ˚C for 4 h. It was quenched
with sat. soln of NaHCO3 and then extracted with EtOAc
(3 × 10 mL). The organic layer was washed
with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated
in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography to give
the pure product.
