A silver-catalyzed reaction of enynals with alkenes to synthesize a series of polycyclic compounds has been developed. The reaction occurred smoothly using enynals with electron-deficient alkynes or terminal alkynes as substrates. The reaction was proposed to proceed through a tandem 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/cyclopropanation process. The preliminary investigations of the asymmetric catalytic version revealed that the biphosphine ligand could be used as the potential efficient chiral ligand.
