A sequence of an aza-Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction, a simple sulfonamide propargylation, and a gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization delivers indoline derivatives with acrylate units in the side chain. The chemoselectivity in the last step is very high; out of the two C–C double bonds that are in equal distance to the alkyne, only the furan reacts, the acrylate neither participates in nor interferes with the gold catalysis.
