methods that affords optically active cyclooctanes by means of a catalytic enantioselective process.
Also recently, Chen and co-workers demonstrated that gold-activated allenamide species can participate in [3 + 2] cycloadditions with azomethine imines or nitrones under catalysis with Ph3PAuCl/AgOTf or

-trig cyclizations to cycloheptanol derivatives have been observed. In examples with high steric hindrance the ketyl–aryl coupling can be a competing process.
