An efficient synthetic approach for the synthesis of 5‐fluoro‐cyclopentenones containing a fluorine‐substituted carbon stereocenter that relies on gold(I)‐catalyzed cycloisomerization and fluorination sequence of 1,3(4)‐enyne esters with N‐fluorbenzensulfonimide (NFSI) is described. This tandem transformation exhibited a broad substrate scope and excellent functional group compatibility, providing a novel protocol for rapid assembly 5‐fluoro‐cyclopentenones in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. The mechanistic studies revealed that the transformation involves a gold‐catalyzed cycloisomerization and electrophilic fluorination cascade to give the 5‐fluoro‐cyclopentenones.
