Herein, we report computational studies on the gold-catalyzed cyclization alkynylation of keto-allenes with ethynylbenziodoxole (EBX) reagents, which identified a gold(I) picolinate complex as the active catalyst, giving the first mechanistic insights into this transformation.Gold-catalyzed domino cyclization-alkynylation reactions with EBX reagents: new insights into the reaction mechanismtext::journal::journal article::research article
