Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are constructed using reticular chemistry with the
building blocks being connected via covalent bonds and have emerged as a new series of …

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 …

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

The allene functionality has participated in one of the most exciting voyages in organic
chemistry, from chemical curiosities to a recurring building block in modern organic …

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 …

Asymmetric hydroalkoxylation of alkenes constitutes a redox-neutral and 100% atom-
economical strategy toward enantioenriched oxygenated building blocks from readily …

Interest in homogeneous gold catalysis has undergone a marked increase. As strong yet air-
and moisture-tolerant π-acids, cationic gold (I) complexes have been shown to catalyze …

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-catalyzed cyclopropanation has emerged as a powerful method in
organic synthesis due to its rich chemistry and fascinating reactivity. This thriving strategy is …

Metal carbenes usually possess versatile reactivities that are controlled by the presence of
both the metals and the ligands. Diazo compounds are commonly used for the generation of …
