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

Silver is a less expensive noble metal. Superior alkynophilicity due to π-coordination with
the carbon–carbon triple bond makes silver salts ideal catalysts for alkyne-based organic …

Because of their d10 electronic configuration, coinage metals are at the borderline between
main group elements and transition metals. Transition metals usually exhibit Lewis acid …

In the past several years, applications of transition metal complexes in tuning the reactivity of
organocatalyst‐promoted transformations have attracted increasing attention in the synthetic …

Hold me close: Highly enantioselective catalysis of tandem acetalization/cycloisomerization
reactions of o‐alkynylbenzaldehydes has been achieved using gold complexes of chiral …

Homogeneous catalysis by gold has emerged over the last 20 years. After the long-held
assumption of the unreactivity of gold, a gold rush is occurring, as exemplified by the number …

The resting state of the gold (I)-catalyzed hydroarylation of 1 changes in the presence of
Ag+, with silver free catalysts resting at the dinuclear gold structure 5 and Ag+ containing …

The development of sustainable processes is one of the main priorities for preparative
chemistry in the 21st century.[1] For several decades, a large effort has been devoted to the …

A new Ag/Brønsted acid co-catalyzed spiroketalization of β-alkynyl ketones with para-
quinone methides (p-QMs) has been established, enabling multiple C–C and C–O bond …

We have focused our attention on cycloisomerization reactions involving silver‐and gold‐
based homogeneous catalysis. This topic is divided into two parts: one relating to …
