Dual gold activation is an important catalytic mode in homogeneous catalysis. In their Communication on page 2114 ff., S. G. Pyne, C. J. T. Hyland, and co‐workers report that ( E )‐enediynes undergo a dual gold‐catalyzed cycloaromatization towards isoindolinones. They use electronic differentiation of triple bonds to direct the formation of a propiolic gold acetylide, represented as a gold‐coveting dragon, which then reacts with a π‐coordinated enyne moiety, illustrated by Rumpelstilzchen spinning his golden thread.
