Intramolecular Additions of Alcohols and Carboxylic Acids to Inert Olefins Catalyzed by Silver(I) Triflate

Abstract
Intramolecular additions of hydroxyl or carboxyl groups to inert olefins catalyzed by simple silver(I) triflate are described. Good to excellent yields can be obtained for a range of substrates under relatively mild conditions. This reaction represents one of the simplest methods to construct cyclic ethers or lactones.
