62. 16b In this study, we obtain evidence for Nazarov cyclization for one class of annulation using cationic gold catalyst (Table 2 and Scheme 10). Since the other cyclizations share the same initial step, Nazarov cyclization is likely involved therein.

76. Formation of the [4 + 2]-annulated product 4e from cis-dienal is proposed to follow the mechanism below. The key step involves an metal exchange between allylic cation and 2-siloxymethylallylsilane to give cation A″ and Au(I)-alkoxy species. This Au(I)-alkoxy species is highly nucleophilic to undergo nucleophilic addition to form species C″, and ultimately forms observed cycloadduct 4e.
77. The annulated compounds 4b, 4c, 4f, and 4g were obtained as minor products according to the mechanism below.
