Silver(I)-catalyzed dual activation of propargylic alcohol and aziridine/azetidine: triggering ring-opening and endo-selective ring-closing in a cascade.

[Ag(COD)(2)]PF(6) catalyzes the reaction between propargyl alcohols and N-tosylaziridines/azetidines leading to a diverse range of N,O-heterocycles, namely, oxazines, oxazepines, and oxazocines via ring-opening and ring-closing in a cascade.
