• ) complex 6 was added. The bridgedhead ketone 18 was obtained in 80% yield as a single diastereomer. The relative stereochemistry of 18 was unambiguously established by X-ray analysis (see Supporting Information File 2). With this result in hand, we explored the scope of this sequential reaction (Table 1

• an one-pot, sequential, reaction with first a gold(III)-catalyzed propargylic substitution followed by a gold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization, the bicyclic compound 37 was obtained in 71% yield [24][80][81][82]. Very recently, a remarkable one-pot reaction using an original gold(III) catalyst has
