This work reports new gold-catalyzed [4 + 3]-annulations of oxacyclic benzenes with 2-substituted allylsilanes thr
ough tandem allylation andcyclization; on the basis of experimental observations, we propose a mechanism involving the opening of the oxacyclic ring by a PPh
3Au
+-assisted S
N2-attack of allylsilanes.
