41. 11d In this case the authors showed that Au(III) catalyzes electrophilic cleavage of the tert-butyl ester during the reaction followed by gold-catalyzed cyclization of the in situ generated allenoic acid, (a) Fu, C.; Ma, S. Eur. J. Org. Chem., 2005, 3942.

51. Hydrolysis of the ester prior to lactonization was ruled out by a control experiment in which dimethyl 2-ethylmalonate was treated with the gold catalyst in acetic acid under the usual reaction conditions (cf. Table 1) for 6 h. No formation of the corresponding carboxylic acid was observed.
52. 1H NMR formation of methyl acetate was observed.
