A gold-catalyzed introduction of various terminal alkynes to acetals was investigated. Extensive optimization of the reaction conditions revealed that thermally stable cationic gold catalysts bearing bulky ligands such as 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene 3-1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazolyl gold trifluoromethanesulfonate (IPrAu(BTZ-H)OTf) were particularly suitable for the reaction. Additionally, significant solvent effects were observed. Ether solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), cyclo pentyl methyl ether (CPME), and 1,4-dioxane were effective for the reaction. Studies on the scope of substrates and alkynes indicated that various alkynes and acetals were feasible to provide a wide range of propargylic ethers.
