Herein, we develop a novel and straightforward access to cyclic conjugated enynes catalyzed by silver carbonate/DBU from readily available substrates with good yields. The reaction is easy to set up, broad in scope, and can also be conducted in a one-pot fashion from easily accessible substrates through a sequence Michael addition reaction/cyclization. Based on our previous works, the mechanism proposed would involve an allenyl silver intermediate and decarboxylation reaction.
