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 …

Today we are poised for a transition from the highly customized crafting of specific molecular
targets by hand to the increasingly general and automated assembly of different types of …

Gold-catalyzed reactions have witnessed an exponential growth in the past decade. When
the unique modes of activation exhibited by gold species meet species with either …

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 …

Most small molecules are highly modular in their constitution, which suggests a potential
general capacity for simple, efficient, and flexible construction through iterative coupling of …

Small molecules have extensive untapped potential to benefit society, but access to this
potential is too often restricted by limitations inherent to the highly customized approach that …

Efficient access to chiral C (sp3) boronates in stereochemically pure form is critical for
realizing the substantial potential of such building blocks in complex-molecule synthesis. We …

Organoboron compounds have a wide-range of applications in synthetic methodologies,
natural products, and bioactive molecule synthesis. The sensitivity of boronic acid toward …

The peculiar features of gold (III) and gold (I) species include exceptional carbophilicity and,
at the same time, lone pair affinity. Such a combination offers many advantages for the …

Homogenous gold catalysis has been exploding for the last decade at an outstanding pace.
The best described reactivity of Au (I) and Au (III) species is based on gold's properties as a …
