The efficient construction of natural products and increasingly complex pharmaceutical agents requires the ongoing development of new methods for their stereocontrolled synthesis. Within this context, cationic cyclization reactions terminated by a pinacol rearrangement have been shown to be of exceptional value.[1–3] For example, Overman and coworkers used a tandem reaction consisting of a Prins cyclization and a pinacol reaction for the synthesis of oxacyclic and carbocyclic natural products such as (À)-citreoviral [4] and (+)-shahamin K.[5] While various initiating groups have already been investigated in considerable detail,[6] the activation of π systems in this context is not well understood.[7] Herein we report the first tandem cyclization–pinacol reaction that is initiated by gold (I)-catalyzed alkyne activation.As part of our ongoing studies in this field,[8] we identified 3-silyloxy-1, 5-enynes as a potentially useful class of substrates (Scheme 1). It was envisaged that coordination of a soft cation to the alkynyl functionality might initiate a 6-endo-dig carbocyclization.[9–11] In our projected sequence the cationic intermediate [12] is expected to undergo an irreversible pinacol
