Abstract

Unmasking the synthetic potential of alkyne functional group of alkynyl alcohols as surrogates of carbonyl compounds, herein we present the first Bronsted acid (TfOH)-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2]-annulation of 4-pentyn-1-ols (possessing terminal alkyne) with a-ynone-esters to access tricyclic tetrahydro-oxepino-phthalides. Besides, an unprecedented synthesis of a-acetoaryl or a-alkynyl [5,5]-oxaspirolactones has been demonstrated by employing 4-pentyn-1-ols (possessing an internal alkyne) as an annulation partner, which proceeds through a divergent [2 + 3]-annulation pathway.
