“…Thus, it has been recently established a general method for the synthesis of highly functionalized isoxazoles from alkynyl oxime ethers [ 80 ], or an intermolecular alkyne oxidation leading to 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles [ 81 ]. Nevertheless, while gold-based alkyne-oxygen cycloisomerization has recently become a hot topic in organic synthesis, only a few examples for alkyne-nitrogen coupling have been described [ 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 ]. Regarding the synthesis of natural products and derivatives, Chan et al have recently described the synthesis of highly substituted indole skeletons [ 29 ], from readily available 2-tosylamino-phenylprop-1-yn-3-ols 38 [ 91 ].…”
