The increasing demand for simple, clean, and sustainable protocols for the preparation of
complex organic molecules has continuously encouraged researchers to discover and …

The last two decades have seen a veritable explosion in the use of gold (I) complexes
bearing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and phosphine (PR3) ligands. Both ligand families …

The generation of metal carbenes from readily available alkynes represents a significant
advance in metal carbene chemistry. However, most of these transformations are based on …

Isoindolinone structure is an important privileged scaffold found in a large variety of naturally
occurring as well as synthetic, biologically and pharmaceutically active compounds. Owing …

Gold is currently one of the most used metals in organometallic catalysis. The ability of gold
to activate unsaturated groups in different modes, together with its tolerance to a wide range …

The gold (I)-catalyzed reaction of bromoalkynes with allylsilanes gives 1, 4-enynes in a
formal cross-coupling reaction. Mechanistic studies revealed the involvement of gold (I) …

A site-selective direct arylation reaction of carbazole and other N-heterocycles with diazo-
naphthalen-2 (1H)-ones has been developed. While Au (I)-NHC catalysts lead to selective …

Isoindolinones, bearing both γ-lactam and aromatic rings, draw extensive interest in organic,
pharmaceutical, and medicinal communities as they are important structural motifs in many …

Gold (I)-catalyzed hetero-tetradehydro-Diels–Alder cycloaddition of enynamides and
cyanamides comprises an efficient route to diversely substituted 2, 6-diaminopyridines (28 …

The high reactivity of gold-vinylidene complexes, generated in situ by [1, 2]-bromine shift
from the corresponding 1-bromoalkynes, allows the activation of one of the strongest bonds …
