Carbohelicenes belong to a class of fascinating, chiral, and helicoidal molecules, which
have a rich history in chemistry since the very beginning of the 20th century. A renewed …

The ability of platinum and gold catalysts to effect powerful atom‐economic transformations
has led to a marked increase in their utilization. The quite remarkable correlation of their …

Transition-metal catalysts containing gold present new opportunities for chemical synthesis,
and it is therefore not surprising that these complexes are beginning to capture the attention …

This critical review intends to familiarize the reader with the essence of π-acid catalysis, in
particular with reactions or reaction cascades effected by gold and platinum complexes …

Metal‐catalyzed cycloisomerization reactions of 1, n‐enynes have appeared as
conceptually and chemically highly attractive processes as they contribute to the highly …

Readily available biphenyl derivatives containing an alkyne unit at one of their ortho‐
positions are converted into substituted phenanthrenes on exposure to catalytic amounts of …

Platin‐und Goldkatalysatoren gewinnen aufgrund ihrer hohen Effizienz und erstaunlichen
Vielfalt für atomökonomische Umsetzungen rasch an Bedeutung. Dabei erlaubt es die …

Exposure of enynes containing a hydroxyl group at one of the propargylic positions to
catalytic amounts of either PtCl2 or (PPh3) AuCl/AgSbF6 results in a selective …

PtCl2 constitutes a convenient catalyst for intramolecular hydroalkoxylation,
carboalkoxylation, hydroamination, and carboamination reactions of alkynes, effecting the …

The ring closing metathesis (RCM) is a powerful method in organic synthesis for the
preparation of cyclic compounds by formation of new carbon–carbon bonds. In the past …
