A cationic phosphinegold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular [2 + 2]-cycloaddition between an allene and an alkene to form alkylidene−cyclobutanes is described. Additionally, the reported cycloisomerization reaction provides access to enantioenriched bicyclo-[3.2.0] structures using chiral biarylphosphinegold(I) complexes as catalysts.
