An efficient gold-catalyzed method for the preparation of α,β-unsaturated ketones from propargylic acetates has been developed. Under mild reaction conditions, β-monosubstituted enones were formed mostly with excellent E-selectivity. β,β-Disubstituted enones can be prepared from propargylic acetates derived from ketones. The high efficiency and mild nature of this reaction render it a viable alternative for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated ketones.
