Skipped diynones, efficiently prepared from biomass-derived ethyl lactate, undergo a tandem hydration–oxacyclization reaction under gold(I) catalysis. Reaction conditions have been developed for a switchable process that allows selective access to 4-pyrones or 3(2H)-furanonesfrom the same starting diynones. Further application of this methodology in the total synthesis of polyporapyranone B was demonstrated

Utilization of C-C bond activation as a unique mode of reactivity for constructing C-C bonds provides new strategies for preparing important organic molecules. Development of a Rh(I)-catalyzed C-C activation of diynones to synthesize symmetrical and unsymmetrical conjugated diynes through decarbonylation is reported. This C-C cleavage strategy takes advantage of the innate reactivity of conjugated ynones without relying on any ring strain or auxiliary directing group. This alkynation method also has orthogonal properties compared to typical cross-coupling reactions.
