• authors proposed an initial nucleophilic attack of the carbonyl oxygen on the gold(I)-activated alkyne to form a vinyl–gold intermediate XII, analogous to that previously shown in Scheme 5 (IX). Aromatization of this intermediate through C–C bond cleavage of the oxirane unit, followed by addition of the
