Transition-metal catalyzed reactions that are able to construct complex aliphatic amines from
simple, readily available feedstocks have become a cornerstone of modern synthetic …

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been attracting tremendous attention
owing to their structure (chirality) dependent outstanding properties, which endow them with …

Gold catalysis has proven to be an important breakthrough for organic synthesis. The
tunable nature of gold catalysts, the unique properties of gold, and the mild reaction …

The activation of a substrate by a chiral catalyst is now regarded as one of the most powerful
strategies that can be employed in the art of asymmetric synthesis. 1 The development of …

Asymmetric hydroalkoxylation of alkenes constitutes a redox-neutral and 100% atom-
economical strategy toward enantioenriched oxygenated building blocks from readily …

This Review examines recent developments in late transition metal-catalyzed
hydroamination and-amidation reactions. A hydroamination is a reaction in which an N− H …

Enantioselective transition metal catalysis is an area very much at the forefront of
contemporary synthetic research. The development of processes that enable the efficient …

Interest in homogeneous gold catalysis has undergone a marked increase. As strong yet air-
and moisture-tolerant π-acids, cationic gold (I) complexes have been shown to catalyze …

Chiral cations have been used extensively as organocatalysts, but their application to
rendering transition metal–catalyzed processes enantioselective remains rare. This is …

In this contribution, we provide an overview of the main avenues that have emerged in gold
coordination chemistry during the last years. The unique properties of gold have motivated …
