Gold-catalyzedreactions of cycloheptatrienes with nitrosoarenes yield nitrone derivatives efficiently. This reaction sequence enables us to develop gold-catalyzed aerobic oxidations of cycloheptatrienes to afford benzaldehyde derivatives using CuCl and nitrosoarenes as co-catalysts (10–30 mol %). Our density functional theory calculations support a novel nitroso-activated rearrangement, tropylium

7‐Aryl‐1,3,5‐cycloheptatrienes react intermolecularly with methylenecyclopropanes in a triple gold(I)‐catalyzed reaction to form cyclopentenes. The same formal (4+1) cycloaddition occurs with cyclobutenes. Other precursors of gold(I) carbenes can also be used as the C1 component of the cycloaddition.

The synthesis of 1‐vinyl‐, 3‐vinyl‐ and 3‐alkynylcyclobutenes has been achieved by a gold(I)‐catalyzed [2+2] cycloadditionreaction. One‐pot transformations of the versatile cyclobutenes render cyclopentenes, 2,3‐dihydrofurans, polycyclic skeletons and beyond.

between terminal allenes and aryl or styryl gold(I) carbenes generated by a retro-Buchner reaction of 7-substituted 1,3,5-cycloheptatrienes led to indenes and cyclopentadienes, respectively. These cycloaddition processes have been applied to the construction of the carbon skeleton of the cycloaurenones and the dysiherbols as well as to the total synthesis of (±)-laurokamurene B.
