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 …

For centuries, gold had been considered a precious, purely decorative inert metal. It was not
until 1986 that Ito and Hayashi described the first application of gold (I) in homogeneous …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are cyclic carbenes bearing at least one R-amino
substituent. 1 The most common subclasses of NHCs are represented in Chart 1. Early work …

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 …

A room-temperature intramolecular oxy-and aminoarylation of alkenes with aryldiazonium
salts has been developed using a novel gold and photoredox dual-catalytic system. The …

Environmental concerns have and will continue to have a significant role in determining how
chemistry is carried out. Chemists will be challenged to develop new, efficient synthetic …

Homogeneous gold catalysis has been one of the most active research fields in organic
chemistry for more than a decade, and it has been also among the most efficient …

For organic chemists, the construction of C C bonds is the most essential aspect of the
assembly of molecules. Transition‐metal‐catalyzed coupling reactions have evolved as one …

The Sonogashira coupling reaction is not catalyzed by AuI/dppe in the absence of Pd
complexes. However, addition of 0.1 mol% of Pd (0) led to efficient cross-coupling reactions …

Bimetallic catalysis refers to homogeneous processes in which either two transition metals
(TM), or one TM and one Group 11 (G11) element (occasionally Hg also), cooperate in a …
