A study on the gold (I)-catalyzed intramolecular hydroamination of trichloroacetimidates derived from propargyl and homopropargyl alcoholsis described. In the presence of 2-5 mol % of cationic Au(I) complex, a variety of trichloroacetimidates undergo efficient hydroaminationunder an exceptionally mild condition. An orthogonality of the current catalytic protocol with those using a stoichiometric electrophile as wellas a preliminary synthetic application as a stable precursor of 2-acylamino-1,3-diene has been demonstrated.
