| Abstract: | Gold carbenes generated via 1,2‐migration of a propargylic ester group can be transferred over a tethered alkyne. The use of aromatic backbones leads after a 1,7‐carbene transfer to a benzyl‐stabilized carbene as intermediate. A 1,2‐shift of a methyl group delivers vinyl‐substituted β‐naphthol derivatives as the final products.  |
