Ynamides and ynol ethers undergo intermolecular gold-catalysed reaction with a nucleophilic oxidant to access metal-carbenoid reactivity patterns. A site-specific oxidation/1,2-insertion cascade is used for a general access to functionalised α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives and vinylogous carbimates.
