We investigated the mechanism of the AuCl₃-catalyzed synthesis of highly substituted furans from 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones with nucleophiles using the density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP function, and obtained the optimal pathway. The rate-determining step of the cyclization is H-migration from the hydroxy group to a ligand Cl of AuCl₃ with a 49.3 kJ·mol^-1 energy barrier. The calculated results show that the ligand Cl of AuCl₃ plays an important role in the reaction, which stabilizes the catalyst and is also directly involved in the reaction. The active energy of proton transfer decreases from 71.5 to 49.3 kJ·mol^-1 by assisting the proton transfer. In addition, the reason why HBF₄ cannot catalyze the cyclization of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones is also discussed in this work. The theoretical results are consistent with the experimental observations.
