BF <sub>3</sub> ·Et <sub>2</sub> O-catalyzed dearomative spirocyclization of ynones for the synthesis of spirolactams and spirolactones

This study presents a BF<sub>3</sub>·Et<sub>2</sub>O catalyzed intramolecular cyclization reaction of ynones, enabling the efficient synthesis of spiro-heterocyclic compounds, such as spiro-γ-lactams and spiro-γ-lactones. This reaction enables the synthesis of diverse spirocyclic compounds under metal-free and mild conditions, exhibiting broad substrate compatibility and excellent yields.
