Table 1. Gold and Palladium Dual-Catalytic Synthesis of Lactones 2b–2ia,b,c,d,e,f.


Unless otherwise noted, reaction conditions: substrate 1 (1.0 equiv), PPh3AuCl (5 mol %), AgOTf (5 mol %), and Pd2dba3 (5 mol %) in dry CD2Cl2 (0.1 M substrate) were stirred at ambient temperature.
Reaction was carried out at 60 °C in DCE-d4.
Catalysts loading: PPh3AuCl (10 mol %), AgOTf (10 mol %), and Pd2dba3 (10 mol %).
1H NMR yield and was determined based on the ratio of product 2i relative to mesitylene, which was used as an internal standard.
Reaction was carried out at 50 °C in DCE-d4.
Bonds formed are denoted with bold.
