Meyer−Schuster rearrangements of propargylic alcohols take place readily at room temperature in toluene with 1−2 mol % PPh3AuNTf2, in the presence of 0.2 equiv of 4-methoxyphenylboronic acid or 1 equiv of methanol. Good to excellent yields of enones can be obtained fromsecondary and tertiary alcohols, with high selectivity for the E-alkene in most cases. A one-pot procedure for the conversion of primary
