In transition‐metal catalysis, similar reactivities are often described for related metals, thereby resulting in the formation of similar/identical products. However, only in rare cases can similar/identical product be obtained by using non‐related metals. Amongst these reactions is the oxidative cyclisation of 1,6‐enynes by using palladium or gold. Similarities and differences will be discussed with a special focus on the diastereo‐ and enantioselective course of the reaction.
