AgOTf-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of phenoxyethynyl diols proceeded under mild conditions to afford the multisubstituted alpha,beta-unsaturated-gamma-lactones in 55-98% yields. This method was also applicable to the synthesis of alpha,beta-unsaturated-delta-lactones. A similar cyclization proceeded when AgOTf was replaced with a stoichiometric amount of N-bromosuccinimide to furnish the a-bromo-substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated lactones.
