Golden aryne? Gold aryne complexes are inferred as transition states in dual gold‐catalyzed cyclizations of cis ‐enediynes (see scheme; DCE=1,2‐dichloroethane). They are better described as ortho ‐aurophenyl cations, which react with weak nucleophiles and undergo facile intramolecular insertions into C(sp 3 )H bonds. Indanes, fused heteroarenes, and phenol derivatives are readily prepared using this method.
