Abstract
The cyclization of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones proceeded smoothly in the presence of various nucleophiles with a catalytic amount of Bu4N[AuCl4] in [bmim]BF4, leading to the formation of highly substituted furans. This system is air-stable and recyclable. The catalyst is inexpensive and readily available.

References and Notes
Representative Procedure.
To the appropriate 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-one (0.2 mmol) and nucleophile (1.5 equiv) in [bmim]BF4 (1 mL) was added Bu4N[AuCl4] (1 mol%). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 3 h unless otherwise specified. The mixture was extracted with Et2O (2 ¥ 5 mL). The isolated ether layer was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel.
Recycling Procedure.
To the 2-phenylethynyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one (1.0 mmol) and MeOH (1.5 equiv) in [bmim]BF4 (3 mL) was added Bu4N[AuCl4] (1 mol%). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 3 h. The product was extracted from the reaction mixture by addition of Et2O (2 ¥ 20 mL). The ether layer was separated. The ionic liquid layer containing Au catalyst was pumped for several minutes and reused for the next reaction.
