Can you dig it? An asymmetric synthesis of functionalized 1H‐indenes from easily available ortho‐(alkynyl)styrene derivatives under mild reaction conditions has been achieved. The reactions proceed through an unprecedented and selective 5‐endo‐dig gold(I)‐catalyzed cycloisomerization or alkoxycyclization, if water or an alcohol is present (see scheme).
