The Fiksdahl group has developed [1-3] a number of novel cyclization reactions from different 1,6-diyne substrates, affording a great variety of new interesting highly functionalised  (poly)cyclic products:

Aims;
-    study gold(I) catalyzed cyclization reactions of 1,6-diynes:

-    investigate the ability of 1,6-diynes to undergo tandem cyclisation:
