Homogeneous gold catalysis has experienced extraordinary development since the dawn of
this millennium. Oxidative gold catalysis is a vibrant and fertile subfield and has over the …

Catalytic transformations involving metal carbenes are considered one of the most important
aspects of homogeneous transition metal catalysis. Recently, gold-catalyzed generation of …

Organosulfur compounds have long played a vital role in organic chemistry and in the
development of novel chemical structures and architectures. Prominent among these …

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 …

For the past dozen years, homogeneous gold catalysis has evolved from a little known topic
in organic synthesis to a fully blown research field of significant importance to synthetic …

After the long-held assumption of the unreactivity of gold, numerous reactions catalyzed by
this noble metal have been increasingly emerging in the literature over the past 2 decades …

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 …

Nitrone and nitroso species are versatile compounds to react with alkenes or butadienes to
access five‐and six‐membered nitroxy (N O) containing heterocycles, to offer further …

Metal carbenes are highly versatile species that mediate various transformations. Recent
advances in gold catalysis have allowed catalytic access to α-oxo metal carbenes from the …

Sulfoxides are classical functional groups for directing the stoichiometric metalation and
functionalization of C− H bonds. In recent times, sulfoxides have been given a new lease on …
