The gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular cycloisomerization of furan/ynes bearing a silyloxy or allyloxy group has been developed, which provides a highly efficient access to protected 1-naphthol derivatives with enal or enone moiety. The method offers several advantages such as high stereoselectivities, mild reaction conditions, and easily accessible starting materials. In addition, the naphthyl products could be further transformed into the important benzocoumarins in a one-pot procedure.
