title: Gold-catalysed room-temperature cycloisomerisation of alkynes and unactivated enolisable ketones.
abstract: The cycloisomerisation of simple keto-alkynes proceeds at room temperature under the mild conditions of gold catalysis. Bicyclic fused and spiro compounds can be obtained by overall 5-exo and 6-exo carbon-carbon bond-forming cyclisations.
