This Review examines recent developments in late transition metal-catalyzed
hydroamination and-amidation reactions. A hydroamination is a reaction in which an N− H …

Interest in homogeneous gold catalysis has undergone a marked increase. As strong yet air-
and moisture-tolerant π-acids, cationic gold (I) complexes have been shown to catalyze …

For a while, the reactivity of gold complexes was largely dominated by their Lewis acid
behavior. In contrast to the other transition metals, the elementary steps of organometallic …

Here we report a ternary catalyst system for the intramolecular hydroamidation of
unactivated olefins using simple N-aryl amide derivatives. Amide activation in these …

A room-temperature intramolecular oxy-and aminoarylation of alkenes with aryldiazonium
salts has been developed using a novel gold and photoredox dual-catalytic system. The …

Gold catalysis is considered one of the most important breakthroughs in organic synthesis
during the past decade, but a rational understanding of ligand effects in gold catalysis is …

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 …

The article reviews the most important developments in the synthesis of heterocycles by gold
catalysts for reactions directly involving the heteroatoms in the reacting groups. Reactions …

For organic chemists, the construction of C C bonds is the most essential aspect of the
assembly of molecules. Transition‐metal‐catalyzed coupling reactions have evolved as one …

Homogeneous gold catalysis has been one of the most active research fields in organic
chemistry for more than a decade, and it has been also among the most efficient …
