| Abstract: | Several alkynylindoles undergo gold(I)-catalyzed cyclization reactions to form a single isomer in each case. Density functional theory shows why this reaction is favored over the many possible regio- and stereoisomeric reaction pathways. This transformation involves a two-step no-intermediate mechanism with surface bifurcations leading to two or three products. Such bifurcations could explain reactivity in many gold(I)-catalyzed enyne cyclization reactions. |
