The air, moisture and thermally stable 1,2,3-triazole coordinated gold(I) complexes (TAAu) were revealed as the effective catalysts in promoting propargylic ester rearrangement and sequential allene hydration, giving the enones with excellent yields (up to 97% yields, 0.2% loading). The catalysts could also catalyze the more challenging Meyer-Schuster rearrangement (0.5% loading, up to 98% yields). The reported reaction confirmed TA-Au as a chemoselective catalyst in promoting alkyne activation with high efficiency and improved ligand economy.
