Abstract
A Au-catalyzed C-H insertion affords 2-bromocyclopent-2-en-1-ones from alkynone substrates with broad scope and synthetically desirable diastereoselectivities. The proposed key intermediate capable of the observed insertion into unactivated C-H bonds is a fully functionalized gold vinylidene.
