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

Gold catalysis has proven to be an important breakthrough for organic synthesis. The
tunable nature of gold catalysts, the unique properties of gold, and the mild reaction …

Gold complexes have emerged as the catalysts of choice for various functionalization
reactions of C–C multiple bonds due to their inherent carbophilic nature. In a parallel space …

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 …

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 …

Homogeneous gold catalysis has received growing attention over the past few years,
enabling the replacement of consolidated organic reactions with more simple, selective, and …

The construction of C–C and C–X (X= hetero atom) bonds is the core aspect for the
assembly of molecules. In this regard, late transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling …

A new strategy for enantioselective transition-metal catalysis is presented, wherein a H-bond
donor placed on the ligand of a cationic complex allows precise positioning of the chiral …

Figure 73: The proposed catalyst/substrate interaction shown in Figure 73 corresponds to
the related sulfoxidation catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acid PA 5 (ref 133). Please note that …
