A careful interplay between the π electrophilicity of a cationic Au I center and the basicity of the corresponding counterion allowed for the chemo‐ and regioselective inter‐ as well as intramolecular de‐aromatization of 2,3‐disubstituted indoles with allenamides. The silver‐free bifunctional Lewis acid/Brønsted base complex [{2,4‐( t Bu) 2 C 6 H 3 O} 3 PAuTFA] assisted the formation of a range of densely functionalized indolenines under mild conditions.
