    The styryl dehydro-Diels–Alder reaction with a conjugated diyne is reported. While typical alkyne–styrene condensation requires elevated temperatures (>160 °C), the application of a conjugated diyne allowed for effective transformation under milder conditions (80 °C). The thermally stable triazole–gold (TA–Au) catalyst further improved the reaction yields (up to 95%), producing the desired alkynyl–naphthalene in a single step with molecular oxygen as the oxidant. Sequential alkyne activation resulted in various polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in excellent yields, highlighting the efficiency of this new strategy for the preparation of PAHs with good functional group tolerance and structural diversity.

    Abstract The one‐step synthesis of tetra‐substituted benzenes was accomplished via gold‐catalyzed diyne‐ene annulation. Distinguished from prior modification methods, this novel strategy undergoes formal [3+3] cyclization, producing polysubstituted benzenes with exceptional efficiency. The critical factor enabling this transformation was the introduction of amides, which were reported for the first time in gold catalysis as covalent nucleophilic co‐catalysts. This interesting protocol not only offers a new strategy to achieve functional benzenes with high efficiency, but also enlightens potential new reaction pathways within gold‐catalyzed alkyne activation processes.

    Abstract With the well‐documented chemical and biological applications, piperidine and pyridine are among the most important N‐heterocycles, and a new synthetic strategy, especially one with an alternative bond‐forming design, is of general interest. Using the gold‐catalyzed intermolecular condensation of amine and diyne‐ene, we report herein the first example of enantioselective 1,2‐dihydropyridine synthesis through a formal [3+2+1] fashion (up to 95 % yield, up to 99 % e.e.).
