The catalyst-directed divergent synthesis, commonly termed as “divergent catalysis”, has
emerged as a promising technique as it allows chartering of structurally distinct products …

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 …

Three-and four-membered rings, widespread motifs in nature and medicinal chemistry, have
fascinated chemists ever since their discovery. However, due to energetic considerations …

Presented herein is the first report of enantioselective Au (I)/Au (III) redox catalysis, enabled
by a newly designed hemilabile chiral (P, N)-ligand (ChetPhos). The potential of this concept …

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 …

Gold redox chemistry holds the promise of unique reactivities and selectivities that are
different to other transition metals. Recent studies have utilized strain release, ligand design …

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions are central to many organic synthesis
methodologies. Traditionally, Pd, Ni, Cu, and Fe catalysts are used to promote these …

Herein, we disclose the gold‐catalyzed 1, 2‐diarylation of alkenes through the interplay of
ligand‐enabled AuI/AuIII catalysis with the idiosyncratic π‐activation mode of gold …

Asymmetric gold catalysis has been rapidly developed in the past ten years. Breakthroughs
have been made by rational design and meticulous selection of chiral ligands. This review …

An important goal in chemistry is to prepare compounds with unusual oxidation states
showing exciting properties. For gold (Au), the relativistic expansion of its 5d orbitals makes …
