Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>An air‐stable cationic Au^I complex featuring a Z‐type ligand (boron atom) as a σ‐acceptor was developed for elucidating the effect of B on catalytic reactions. An enyne cyclization in the presence of either [Au→B]⁺ or [Au]⁺ showed that [Au→B]⁺ promotes the reactivity, which enabled the effective construction of not only five‐ and six‐membered rings, but also seven‐membered rings.</p> </abstract>
