Abstract

A new tandem catalysis strategy that transforms alkyne derivatives to (E)-enol-equivalents followed by stereoselective anti-selective aldol coupling or syn-selective [3,3]-rearrangement transformations is reported. The mechanism is thought to proceed through an interchanging series of Lewis acid and Brønsted acid catalyzed reactions via the intermediacy of a ketiminum ion species.
