Through computational and experimental studies, the mechanisms of gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization of bromoallenyl ketones in toluene have been elucidated. The divergent 1,2-migrations for the Au(I)- and Au(III)-catalyzed reactions have been investigated, and the results confirmed that the regiochemistry is ligand-dependent in cases of Au(PR3)L (L = Cl, OTf, BF4, and SbF6) catalysts.
