Homogeneous gold catalysis has experienced extraordinary development since the dawn of
this millennium. Oxidative gold catalysis is a vibrant and fertile subfield and has over the …

Over the past decade the organometallic chemistry of gold (III) has seen remarkable
advances. This includes the synthesis of the first examples of several compound classes that …

BACKGROUND Organic synthetic chemistry has facilitated the production of medicines,
agrochemicals, food, polymers, dyes, and more through step-and atom-economical …

For a while, the reactivity of gold complexes was largely dominated by their Lewis acid
behavior. In contrast to the other transition metals, the elementary steps of organometallic …

The reluctance of gold to achieve oxidative addition reaction is considered as an intrinsic
limitation for the development of gold-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with simple and …

The first methodology for Au (I/III)-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of arenes via double C–
H activation has been developed. The reaction is fully selective for the cross-coupling …

Gold-catalyzed reactions have witnessed an exponential growth in the past decade. When
the unique modes of activation exhibited by gold species meet species with either …

The selective functionalization of C–H bonds at the arene para position is highly challenging
using transition metal catalysis. Iridium-catalyzed borylation has emerged as a leading …

The synthesis of organic compounds efficiently via fewer steps but in higher yields is
desirable as this reduces energy and reagent use, waste production, and thus …

This report describes the chemoselective coupling of polyfluoroarenes with aryl germanes in
the presence of aromatic C–I, C–Br, C–Cl, C–OTf, and C–SiMe3 groups, as well as …
