The reaction proceeds through C-3 propargylation followed by an aza-annulation in a domino manner in the presence of AgSbF6/AuCl(PPh3) as the catalytic system. The products can be synthesized from a broad range of propargylic alcohols, demonstrating the compatibility with different functional groups.
