Catalyzed by gold(I), (E)- and (Z)-2-(arylmethylene)cyclopropylcarbinols, terminal arynes, and alcohols underwent three-component addition reactions to produce 3-oxabicyclo3.1.0hexanes in high yields and moderate diastereoselectivities under mild conditions. A plausible mechanism based on an intermolecular tandem hydroalkoxylation/Prins-type reaction pathway has been proposed.
Tian et al. (2007) studied this question.
