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 …

The catalyst-directed divergent synthesis, commonly termed as “divergent catalysis”, has
emerged as a promising technique as it allows chartering of structurally distinct products …

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 …

The high utility of halogenated organic compounds has prompted the development of a vast
number of transformations which install the carbon–halogen motif. Traditional routes to …

Metal-catalyzed regiodivergent reactions allow control over regioselectivity in the synthesis
of a wide range of organic products. Starting from the same material, it is possible to prepare …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are cyclic carbenes bearing at least one R-amino
substituent. 1 The most common subclasses of NHCs are represented in Chart 1. Early work …

After the long-held assumption of the unreactivity of gold, numerous reactions catalyzed by
this noble metal have been increasingly emerging in the literature over the past 2 decades …

Metal carbenes usually possess versatile reactivities that are controlled by the presence of
both the metals and the ligands. Diazo compounds are commonly used for the generation of …

Allenes are highly valuable synthetic precursors in preparative organic chemistry because of
their ability to undergo a variety of transformations. 1 Among many different reaction modes …
