Homoallenic alcohols are prepared from various propargyl vinyl ethers using a
trinuclear gold(I)-oxo complex, [(Ph3PAu)3O]BF4,
as a catalyst for propargyl Claisen rearrangement at room temperature.

Triazole-Au (TA-Au) complexes are effective chemoselective catalysts in
promoting propargyl ester/ether 3,3-rearrangements. Unlike other reported Au
catalysts, TA-Au provided effective chirality transfer without racemization over
a long period of time, giving enantioenriched allenes with excellent
stereoselectivity in excellent yields.

The Au-catalyzed hydrative rearrangement of 1,1-diethynylcarbinol acetates in
wet CH2Cl2 produces either
5-acetoxy-2-alkyl-2-cyclopentenones or acetoxymethyl α-alkylallenones as a major
product depending on the temperature, reaction time, and catalyst loading.
