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 …

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 …

Over the past decade the organometallic chemistry of gold (III) has seen remarkable
advances. This includes the synthesis of the first examples of several compound classes that …

This review considers phosphine and N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of gold (I) that are
used as (pre) catalysts for a range of reactions in organic synthesis. These are divided …

The use of alkyl chlorides as C (sp 3)-hybridized electrophiles for the construction of C (sp 3)–
C (sp 3) bonds represents one of the most challenging issues in organic synthesis …

Indole is one of the most important heterocycles in organic synthesis, natural products, and
drug discovery. Recently, tremendous advances in the selective functionalization of indoles …

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 …

The amidated peptides are an important class of biologically active compounds due to their
unique biological properties and wide applications as potential peptide drugs and …

Gold chemistry has developed extensively in the past decade, and a dozen good reviews
have been presented discussing this progress. Few however have paid close attention to …

Herein, we report a gold-catalyzed Heck reaction facilitated by the ligand-enabled Au (I)/Au
(III) redox catalysis. The elementary organometallic steps such as migratory insertion and β …
