Propargylamines are a versatile class of compounds which find broad application in many
fields of chemistry. This review aims to describe the different strategies developed so far for …

Gold has been used for coinage, jewelry, and other arts for thousands of years due to its
stability in air. Catalytic researchers were long misled by this common sense until the …

Thanks to its unusual stability, metallic gold has been used for thousands of years in jewelry,
currency, chinaware, and so forth. However, gold had not become the chemists'“precious …

Organic synthesis performed through multicomponent reactions is an attractive area of
research in organic chemistry. Multicomponent reactions involve more than two starting …

Propargylamines have been synthesized by a gold (III) salen complex-catalyzed three-
component coupling reaction of aldehydes, amines, and alkynes in water in excellent yields …

A gold (III)-catalyzed multicomponent coupling/cycloisomerization reaction of heteroaryl
aldehydes, amines, and alkynes under solvent-free conditions or in water has been …

Addition of a sterically demanding cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC) to AuCl (SMe2)
followed by treatment with [Et3Si (Tol)]+[B (C6F5) 4]− in toluene affords the isolable [(CAAC) …

At the beginning of the last century, organic chemists began to use transition metal catalysts
for forming carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds. Since then, the formation of …

The catalytic asymmetric addition reactions of organometallic reagents to CdN double bonds
of imines are fundamentally important processes, which provide convenient and versatile …

A series of gold complexes were tested as catalysts in the synthesis of propargylamines by
the three component coupling reaction of amines, aldehydes, and alkynes. These …
