Gold(I)‐Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of Arylvinylcyclopropenes: An Efficient Synthetic Protocol for the Construction of Indene Skeletons

Abstract

Excellent yields! Gold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of vinylcyclopropenes to produce vinylindene derivatives in good to excellent yields under mild conditions has been achieved (see scheme).
