Readily available five- and six-membered lactones and N-sulfonyllactams undergo efficient addition of t-butyl propiolate, and the resulting adducts undergo cycloisomerization to six- and seven-membered cyclic ethers or amines in the presence of pyridinium acetate. The ring expansion process occurs in

A gold-catalyzed intermolecular reaction of propiolic acids with alkenes led to a [4 + 2] annulation or enyne cross metathesis. The [4 + 2] annulation proceeds with net cis-addition with respect to alkenes and provides an expedient route to α,β-unsaturated
