Resumen

An allylic gold(I) cation, proposed as key intermediate in the gold-promoted rearrangement of 1,5-enynes bearing a fixed conformation, has been detected and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. Moreover, its participation in the overall transformation was confirmed. Computational studies indicate that the gold-catalyzed transformation occurs through an uncommon rearrangement. Additionally, this study led us to isolate and characterize a stable homoantiaromatic carbocation.
