Abstractmagnified imageThe gold(I)‐catalysed isomerisation of 1,8‐enynes allows the efficient synthesis of functionalised bicyclo[5.2.0]nonenes. Notably, these cyclobutenes derivatives can be isolated as reactive intermediates that could undergo subsequent gold(I)‐catalysed transformations such as isomerisation, fragmentation or ene reaction to furnish more structurally complex products. This study also provides useful information related to the mechanism leading to metathesis‐type derivatives, examples of which were shown to be produced, in the present case, by a gold(I)‐catalysed ring fragmentation of the cyclobutene moiety.

electron-donating substituents at the alkyne undergo gold(I)-catalysed single cleavage skeletal rearrangement, whereas substrates with electron-withdrawing substituents evolve selectively to double cleavage rearrangement. Theoretical calculations provide a qualitative rationale for these effects, and suggest that bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-5-enes are involved as intermediates. We provide the first X-ray structural evidence
