55. 3 are similar to those for AuBr.
56. In addition, DFT calculations showed that another alternative prototropic isomerization of the alkyne 1 into an allene is a reversible process requiring 18.5 kcal/mol activation free energy. No loss of the D-label was observed in 1b recovered from the Au-catalyzed cycloisomerization reaction at 50% conversion. On the basis of this, the allenization route can be ruled out. See Supporting Information for details.
57. 2O contradicts the concerted nature of the 1,2-H migrations suggested in the previous mechanistic rationale.
