Abstract: The development of a novel reaction ideal in terms of atom economy was achieved. The scope of the reaction was evaluated in the presence of Pd and Pt catalysts. The first enantioselective Pt-promoted enyne carboalkoxycyclization was developed in up to 85 % stereoselectivity. This ideal atom-economical reaction afforded the corresponding functionalized five-membered carbo- and heterocycles in good to excellent yields. The use of silver salts combined with (R)-Ph-BINEPINE, a monophosphane atropisomeric ligand, was found to be the best-suited combination for moderate to high enantioselectivities on carbonated and nitrogenated substrates.
