Gold( I ) complexes are the most active catalysts for alkoxy‐ or hydroxycyclization and for skeletal rearrangement reactions of 1,6‐enynes. Intramolecular alkoxycyclizations also proceed efficiently in the presence of gold( I ) catalysts. The first examples of the skeletal rearrangement of enynes by the endocyclic cyclization pathway are also documented. Iron( III ) is also able to catalyze exo and endo skeletal rearrangements of 1,6‐enynes, although the scope of this transformation is more limited. The gold( I )‐catalyzed endocyclic cyclization proceeds by a mechanism different from those followed in the presence of Pd II , Hg II , or Rh I catalysts.
