into 3,4-dihydropyrrolo- and indolo-oxazin-1-one derivatives by a gold(III)-catalyzed cyclization reaction. Some of the products underwent TFA-catalyzed double bond isomerization and some did not. Cyclization reactions in the presence of alcohol catalyzed by Au(I) resulted in the formation of
hemiacetals after cascade reactions.

Pyrrole-containing heterocycles are widely distributed within a large number of natural products and biologically active molecules [1
of pyrrolo- and indolo-oxazin-1-one derivatives. The key step was a gold-catalyzed cyclization reaction of N-propargyl-substituted pyrrole and indole carboxylic acid derivatives. The hydroxy groups of carboxylic acids attacked the activated triple bond to form 6-exo-dig cyclization products, oxazin-1
