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 …

Over the past two decades, the development and application of ynamide chemistry have
received more and more attention. Ynamides have proven to be versatile reagents for …

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

Homogeneous gold catalysis has demonstrated the preponderant capability of realizing a
broad range of synthetically versatile alkyne functionalization over the last two decades …

We report on gold (I)-catalyzed oxidative annulation involving ynamides, nitriles, and 2, 3-
dichloropyridine N-oxide. The application of 2, 3-dichloropyridine N-oxide as an oxygen …

Abstract α‐Amino acid derivatives are key components of the molecules of life. The
synthesis of α‐amino carbonyl/carboxyl compounds is a contemporary challenge in organic …

Although N‐alkenoxyheteroarenium salts have been widely used as umpoled synthons with
nucleophilic (hetero) arenes, the use of electron‐poor heteroarenes has remained …

A gold-catalyzed oxidative three-component reaction of terminal alkynes with alcohols and
quinone monoimines has been disclosed, affording α-ketoacetals in good to excellent …

Umpolung approach through inversion of the polarity of conventional enolates, has opened
up an unprecedented opportunity in the cross‐coupling via alkylation. The enolonium …

Control over chemo-and regioselectivity is a critical issue in the heterobiaryl synthesis via C–
H oxidative coupling. To address this challenge, a strategy to invert the normal polarity of …
