A golden opportunity: A novel gold‐catalyzed oxidativering‐expansion of unactivated cyclopropylalkynes using Ph2SO has been developed (see scheme). For substrates bearing a donor group at the cyclopropane ring, preliminary results reveal a distinct cleavage of the cyclopropane unit; such a ringcleavage is further applicable to the synthesis of 2H‐pyrans. L=P(tBu)2(o‐biphenyl), Tf=triflate.
