Organic synthesis using gold has gained tremendous attention in last few years, especially
heterogeneous gold catalysis based on gold nanoparticles has made its place in almost all …

Herein, we show that mesoporous titania-supported gold nanoparticle assemblies (Au/MTA)
catalyze the activation of NaBH4 and 1, 1, 3, 3-tetramethyl disiloxane (TMDS) compounds …

This publication continues the series of reviews devoted to the current state of gold catalysis
in organic chemistry. The second review addresses Au-catalyzed reactions of alkynes …

Supported gold nanoparticles (< 1mol%) catalyze for the first time the activation of NH2NH2
as a transfer hydrogenation agent. Aryl and alkyl nitro compounds are cleanly and …

A series of capped metallo-cyclodextrins were synthesized, affording a variety of artificial
chiral metallo-pockets through modulation of the space around the metal. Carbene ligands …

The confinement of a catalytic site is an efficient strategy to control a reaction and modulate
its selectivity. In the present work, a new class of structurally simple and easily accessible …

Probably owing to the prejudice that gold is a metal too noble to be used much in chemistry,
the chemistry of this element has developed much later than that of its congeners and …

Supported Au nanoparticles on TiO2 catalyze the hydration/6-endo cyclization of skipped
diynones to γ-pyrones in aqueous dioxane, via triple bond activation. The isomeric 3 (2 H) …

Sulfonated tetrahydropyridine derivatives are accessed through a radical reaction of 1, 6-
enynes, sulfur dioxide, and aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates under mild conditions …

Gold nanoparticles supported on titania catalyse, even at a ppm loading level, the
quantitative reduction of nitroarenes into anilines and nitroalkanes into alkylhydroxylamines …
