A gold(I)‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of diazo compounds to afford tetrasubstituted alkenes has been developed by taking advantage of a trivial electronic difference between two diazo substrates. A N‐heterocyclic‐carbene‐derived gold complex is the most effective catalyst for this transformation. Based on this new strategy, a gold(I)‐initiated benzannulation has been achieved through a tandem reaction involving a diazo cross‐coupling, 6π electrocyclization, and oxidative aromatization.
