Abstract

A series of substituted nitrogen-containing 9-membered epoxy vinyl ethers has been constructed from easily available 5-aza-2,3-epoxy-7-yn-1-ols. Attack of the hydroxyl group onto the gold(I)-activated alkyne gave the postulated 9-membered allylic vinyl ether gold intermediate which underwent protodeauration affording the 9-membered epoxy vinyl ethers.
