Divergent Mechanisms for the Skeletal Rearrangement and [2+2] Cycloaddition of Enynes Catalyzed by Gold

Cyclobutenes are not necessary intermediates in the skeletal rearrangement of enynes, which is supported DFT calculations and kinetic studies. Cyclobutenes may arise from the corresponding syn-cyclopropyl gold(I) carbenes.
