This review describes the gold-catalyzed reactions of specially activated alkynes, allenes,
and alkenes. Such species are characterized by the presence of either electron-donating or …

Sequential reactions, through the incorporation of several distinct transformations into one
single sequence, are one of the most powerful synthetic tools in modern organic chemistry …

The efficiency and selectivity of hydrogen atom transfer from organic molecules are often
difficult to control in the presence of multiple potential hydrogen atom donors and acceptors …

Over the past decade and a half, homogenous gold catalysis has emerged as a diverse and
rich field of research resulting in the continuous development of new methods for organic …

Abstract The Meyer–Schuster rearrangement of propargylic alcohols is a transformation in
organic synthesis known for almost a century. The products of this reaction—α, β‐enones …

Using D2O as a deuterium source, a method for the deuteration of intra-and extra-cyclic
methylene has been developed for cyclic ethers with moderate yield and excellent …

We report the use of cationic gold complexes [Au (NHC)(CH3CN)][BF4] and [{Au (NHC)} 2 (μ–
OH)][BF4](NHC= N-heterocyclic carbene) as highly active catalysts in the solvent-free …

One-step, catalytic synthesis of N-arylsulfonamides via the construction of N–S bonds from
the direct coupling of sodium arylsulfinates with nitroarenes was realized in the presence of …

The large and significant increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the Earth's atmosphere
is a serious problem for humanity. The amount of CO2 is increasing steadily which causes a …

A general method for isoxazoles from readily available ynones using trimethylsilyl azide as
an amino surrogate, likely via an unprecedented hydroazidation of the alkyne and …
