Abstract
The addition of lithiated alkoxyallenes to carbonyl compounds furnishes allenyl alcohols, which undergo a highly efficient and chemoselective 5-endo-trig cyclization to 3-alkoxy-2,5-dihydrofurans catalyzed by gold(I) chloride. The dihydrofurans produced can be either oxidized to β-alkoxy butenolides by a manganese(III) acetate catalyzed radical oxidation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide, or transformed into α,β-unsaturated γ-keto aldehydes by an oxidative ring cleavage using DDQ in the presence of water. Treatment of the γ-keto aldehydes with sodium methoxide in methanol promotes a diastereoselective intramolecular aldol addition furnishing alkoxy-substituted cyclopentenone derivatives in good yield.
Key words

Our results have shown that the addition of lithiated alkoxyallenes to α-chiral aldehydes predominantly proceeds via the Felkin-Anh mode in all cases (also see ref. 2). Assignment of syn- and anti-isomers was based on NMR data for most compounds, at the stage of the allenyl alcohol intermediates, and according to guidelines by Landmann and Hoffmann.

The assignment for compound 4d could be confirmed by an X-ray analysis of the main isomer.
