The E-α-haloenones were prepared through a triazole−Au complex (TriA−Au) catalyzed propargyl acetate rearrangement and sequential allene halogenation. The reactions proceeded with only 1% catalyst loading, giving the challenging kinetic products in excellent yields and good to excellent stereoselectivity. These results not only provided the first example for the synthesis of challenging kinetic E-haloenones, but also revealed triazole−Au complexes as effective catalysts in promoting chemoselective activation of alkynes over allenes.
