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 …

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 …

Gold carbenes are highly active intermediates in homogeneous gold catalysis, enabling a
large array of transformations such as C–H/X–H insertions, cyclopropanations, and 1, 2 …

This review highlights key reactivities relying on C–C bond cleavages of cyclopropenes.
Metal-catalyzed and metal-free transformations are covered in reactions involving direct ring …

In this critical review the reactivity patterns observed with different types of diyne substrates
in gold catalysis are discussed. Apart from the many examples from homogeneous catalysis …

The past decade has witnessed the golden age of homogeneous gold-catalyzed reactions,
especially those that involve the transformation of highly strained molecules into complex …

By reviewing the recent progress on the elucidation of the structure of gold carbenes and the
definitions of metal carbenes and carbenoids, we recommend to use the term gold carbene …

This critical review discusses recent developments in the field of cyclopropene chemistry.
Although several excellent reviews that mainly focused on the thermolysis and pyrolysis as …

Catalytic approaches to pharmaceutically important bioactive skeletons through gold
carbene intermediates have experienced a dramatic development in the last decade …

The transformations of cyclopropenes have attracted the attention of organic chemists for
decades. As readily accessible strained carbocycles, cyclopropenes show a diverse range …
