We report the use of cationic gold complexes [Au(NHC)(CH<sub>3</sub>CN)][BF<sub>4</sub>] and [{Au(NHC)}<sub>2</sub>(μ-OH)][BF<sub>4</sub>] (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) as highly active catalysts in the solvent-free hydroalkoxylation of internal alkynes using primary and secondary alcohols. Using this simple protocol, a broad range of (<i>Z</i>)-vinyl ethers were obtained in excellent yields and high stereoselectivities. The methodology allows for the use of catalyst loadings as low as 200 ppm ...[more]
