“…With the gold catalyst, various 1,6‐enynes were converted into five‐membered dienes (type I , Figure 1) at rt; this completed the known reactivity of palladium, platinum, and ruthenium, previously identified for such cyclopentenes formation [47–49] . Following this milestone work, mononuclear cationic gold complexes have been shown to promote mostly the formation of either five and/or six‐membered dienes (type I – III , Figure 1), sometimes with a troublesome selectivity [23,50–61] . Au(I) catalytic systems are occasionally able to form bicyclic strained structures such as bicyclo[4.1.0]hept‐4‐enes (type IV , Figure 1) and cyclobutenes (type V – VI , Figure 1).…”
