Over the last decade, gold catalysis has demonstrated a high synthetic potential for the formation of various functionalised structures by the addition of a wide range of nucleophiles to gold-activated alkynes or allenes.[1] While a series of carbon nucleophiles (alkene, allene, aryl) have been used for this purpose, it is surprising that only little attention has been given to the use of alkynes.[2] Such a lack of interest is probably due to the inherent ...
