A simple and rapid access to the alpha-substituted acryl aldehydes has been provided by developing a gold-catalysed [1,3] rearrangement of the allenyl ethers importantly with a record turnover frequency of 4600 h(-1) (at 0.05 mol\% of the catalyst concentration) in homogeneous gold(I) catalysis.

The gold(I)-catalyzed reaction/rearrangement of allenyl ethers has been investigated in the presence of indoles. Either hydroindolylation or alkylation of an indole with the pendant group of allenyl ether has been observed. The reaction outcome seems to be decided mainly by the nature of the pendant group of the allenyl ether. Control experiments are indicative of an inner sphere mechanism for the hydroindolylation reaction.

A simple procedure for the preparation of 3-(hetero) arylpropionaldehydes has been developed employing a gold-catalyzed [1,3]-rearrangement of vinyl ethers. Using this protocol, Canthoxal, an aromatic aldehyde used in perfumery, has been prepared on a gram scale.
