This reaction, which involves the formation of an alkynyl Au(III) species and a direct C-H activation of alkyl 3-aminoacrylates, reports twenty-six successful conversions in 62-92% yield with excellent functional group tolerance. In addition, only one configuration of 1,3- enynes containing enamines is produced and no further cyclization product is found. In Chapter 3, a gold-catalyzed cascade C(sp3)-H alkynylation/ oxy-alkynylation of β- keto compounds with hypervalent iodine(III) reagents for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted furans is described. The alkynyl Au(III) species plays a crucial role in Au(I)/Au(III) catalytic cycles. The two operating catalytic cycles include an alkynylation of activated C(sp3)-H bond and an oxy-alkynylation of an β-alkynyl ketone. This simple strategy features mild reaction conditions, high functional group tolerance, and a wide substrate scope. Furthermore, the synthetic utility of the method was demonstrated by diverse functionalizations of the final products. Gram-scale synthesis and proposed mechanism are also presented. In Chapter 4, another gold-catalyzed cascade C(sp3)–H alkynylation/Nitrogenalkynylation of 2-pyridine compounds with hypervalent iodine(III) reagents for the synthesis of poly-substituted indolizines is described. The broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance and good efficiency render this method useful for organic synthesis, especially for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds. Gram-scale synthesis and proposed mechanism are also revealed.
