Isomerization reactions of cyclooctyne mediated by N‐heterocyclic carbene supported gold(I) leading to ring‐contraction and the formation of 5/5‐fused bicyclic alkenes have been observed. Isolation and complete characterization, including X‐ray structural data of the cationic gold(I) complexes featuring the precursor alkyne and the product alkenes are also described.
