molecular complexity of common chiral gold complexes generally prevents a complete description of the mechanism steps and activation modes being documented. In this study, we present the results of a combinedexperimental-computational (DFT) investigation of the mechanism of the enantioselective gold-catalyzed allylic alkylation of indoles with alcohols. A stepwise S(N)2'-process (i.e. anti-auroindolination
