Abstract

AbstractBy employing the sterically highly demanding steering ligand IPr* at a gold(I) center, it is possible to induce a 6‐endo‐dig cyclization pathway in 1,5‐diynes bearing terminal alkyne moieties. The resulting aurated naphthyl cations are utilized for the intermolecular formation of C−C bonds via C−H insertion of aromatic and aliphatic C−H bonds. The mechanisms of these transformations were studied by quantum chemical calculations.
