This review is focused on the analysis of current data on new methods of alkenylation of
arenes and heteroarenes with alkynes by transition metal catalyzed reactions …

1. INTRODUCTION Bulk gold, being the most stable among all metals, was for many years
considered as an inert catalyst. However, gold particles with size on the scale of nanometers …

Transition-metal (TM)-catalyzed hydroarylation reactions of alkynes have received much
attention, because they enable the net insertion of alkyne C–C triple bonds into C–H bonds …

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 …

When reacted in the presence of external oxidants, gold complexes are capable of
catalyzing oxidative homo‐and cross‐coupling reactions involving the formation of new C …

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 …

Relativistic effects in the valence shell of the elements reach a maximum in the triad Pt–Au–
Hg and determine their catalytic activity in organic reactions. In this Review we examine the …

A combination of the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis could
enable the development of sustainable catalysts with novel reactivity and selectivity …

Activation of H–H, Si–H, and C–H bonds through σ-bond coordination has grown in the past
30 years from a scientific curiosity to an important tool in the functionalization of …

Despite the unique position of gold catalysis in contemporary organic synthesis, this area of
research is notorious for requiring activators and/or additives that enable catalysis by …
