Metal-catalyzed [2+ 2+ m] cycloadditions (m= 1–3) of 1, nenynes (n= 5–7) with small molecules are powerful tools for accessing complicated hetero-and carbocycles.[1, 2] These reactions are appealing because their mechanisms can be altered by using different metal complexes. As shown in Scheme 1, low-valent metal species react with these enynes to form metallocycloalkene intermediates (Ia) initially,[3] whereas gold (I) catalysts generate the cyclopropyl gold carbene Ib which has a resonance structure, that is, the alkenylgold carbocation Ib’.[4] We sought a new catalytic [2+ 2+ m] cycloaddition of 1, n-enynes to generate an additional functionality on the resulting cycloadducts. Although catalytic cycloadditions of nitrosobenzenes have been intensively studied,[5, 6] we are aware of no report on the cycloaddition of nitroso species with 1, n-enynes (n= 5–7).[6] We report herein the gold-catalyzed cyclization/oxidative [3+ 2] cycloadditions of 1, 5-enynes with nitrosobenzenes. Notably, nitrosobenzenes not only provide two-atom building units, but also lead to the alkyne oxidation. Such a reaction pattern is unprecedented in metal-catalyzed cycloadditions of 1, n-enynes.This oxidative cycloaddition was realized with the treatment of the 1, 5-enyne 1a (1 equiv) with nitrosobenzene (2a; 1.5 equiv) and [P (tBu) 2 (o-biphenyl) AuCl]/AgNTf2 (5 mol%) in 1, 2-dichloroethane (DCE; 258C, 24 h) to give the oxidative cycloadduct 3a in 21% yield, together with the cycloisomerization product 4a in 70% yield (Table 1, entry 1).[7] The
