The effects of starting material substitution patterns on reaction selectivity for the gold(I)-catalysed cycloisomerisations of aryl substituted 1,7-enynes were investigated. The results indicated the chemoselectivity of the reaction to be highly substrate and catalyst dependent. Either the piperidi...
