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 …

Cycloisomerizations of enynes are probably the most representative carbon–carbon bond
forming reactions catalyzed by electrophilic metal complexes. These transformations are …

Synthetic organic chemistry has been markedly affected by the booming of gold catalysis
over the past decade. The renaissance of this coinage metal allowed unprecedented …

Abstract C–O, C–N and C–C bonds are the most widespread types of bonds in nature, and
are the cornerstone of most organic compounds, ranging from pharmaceuticals and …

Cycloisomerizations of 1, n-enynes catalyzed by gold (I) proceed via electrophilic species
with a highly distorted cyclopropyl gold (I) carbene-like structure, which can react with …

We have focused our attention on cycloisomerization reactions involving silver‐and gold‐
based homogeneous catalysis. This topic is divided into two parts: one relating to …

The enantioselective reaction of 1, 6-enynes with O-, N-, and C-nucleophiles has been
developed by matched ion pair gold (I) catalysis in which the chiral gold (I) cation and anion …

A Ag-catalyzed versatile and efficient access to 1 H, 1-arylisochromenes is reported. Starting
from ortho-alkynylbenzaldehydes bearing various substitution patterns on the benzaldehyde …

Under noble (Au, Pt, Ru) and group 13 (Ga, In) metals catalysis, 1, 6-arenynes rearrange to
give 1, 2-dihydronaphthalenes in a high yielding, regiocontrolled fashion. When the reaction …

Gold coordinated to neutral phosphines (R3P), N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) or anionic
ligands is catalytically active in functionalizing various C− H bonds with high selectivity. The …
