C–H functionalization has been emerging as a powerful method to establish carbon–carbon
and carbon–heteroatom bonds. Many efforts have been devoted to transition-metal …

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 …

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

Over the past two decades, the development and application of ynamide chemistry have
received more and more attention. Ynamides have proven to be versatile reagents for …

Often stoichiometric amounts of gold find use in materials science; occasionally gold is even
used as a support. This review discusses the contributions of gold catalysis, both …

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 …

Ynamides are unique alkynes with a carbon–carbon triple bond directly attached to the
nitrogen atom bearing an electron-withdrawing group. The alkyne is strongly polarized by …

Ynamides are special alkynes bearing an electron-withdrawing group on the nitrogen atom,
and they have been extensively studied over the past decade. However, the addition of …

N-Containing tricyclic compounds, especially the tricyclic N-heterocycles, are important
structural motifs that possess significant potential in organic chemistry for their momentous …

Transition metal-catalyzed cyclization reactions of unsaturated substrates have become one
of the most important and useful methodologies for the preparation of heterocycles. To this …
