Abstract Promoted by metallic dysprosium, carbonyl compounds react smoothly with propargyl bromide to afford the corresponding homopropargylic alcohols in good to excellent yields without observation of allenic alcohols. In addition, this reaction is regioselective and chemoselective.

showcases an unprecedented Au(III)-catalyzed cascade cyclization of 2-(4-hydroxyalkynyl)benzoates to access benzannulated [5,5]-oxaspirolactones related to biologically active natural products. This reaction proceeds through an initial 5-endo-dig mode of hydroalkoxylation of the alkynol segment to give the oxocarbenium species (via cyclic enol-ether) followed by the addition of carboxylate onto the oxocarbenium

used to get other sulfur-containing compounds by formal nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom. This work describes a different mode of reactivity of alkyne-containing chlorosulfates to get sultones, the sulfur analogues of lactones. The complex skeletal rearrangement observed in this transformation is comparable to those intricate processes promoted or catalyzed by organometallic compounds.

Many healthy adults report daytime napping. Surprisingly few studies, however have examined spontaneous napping behavior especially very short naps, in healthy adults. The authors examined the prevalence of power naps (lasting less than 20 minutes) and longer naps (20 minutes or more) and their effects on nighttime sleep in a group of healthy young and middle-aged adults. The young and middle-aged adults reported very similar sleep and napping patterns, with approximately 74% of the participants in both groups reporting they had napped during a 7-day sleep-log period. Almost half of the participants reported that the average nap lasted less than 20 minutes. A multivariant analysis of variance (MANOVA) found no significant differences between the no-nap and the power-nap or long-nap groups in sleep quantity or quality for either age group. The current data suggested that power napping occurs frequently in healthy adults and that spontaneous napping does not negatively affect nighttime sleep.
A New Synthesis of γ-Butyrolactones via AuCl<sub>3</sub>- or Hg(II)-Catalyzed Intramolecular Hydroalkoxylation of 4-Bromo-3-yn-1-ols
An efficient conversion of 4-bromo-3-yn-1-ols to gamma-butyrolactones via AuCl3-catalyzed electrophilic cyclization (hydroxyl-assisted regioselective hydration) in wet toluene is described. Various secondary and tertiary alcohols including benzylic systems were found to be equally reactive with moderate to excellent yields obtained in all cases.
