All that glitters is gold : The total synthesis of the natural enantiomers of englerins A and B has been completed using a gold‐catalyzed stereoselective domino alkyne/alkene/carbonyl cyclization of an enyne with an unprotected alcohol group at a stereogenic allylic position (see scheme; TES=triethylsilyl).
