Recently, the use of enantiomerically pure counteranions for the induction of asymmetry in
reactions proceeding through cationic intermediates has emerged as an exciting new …

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 …

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 …

By reviewing the recent progress on the elucidation of the structure of gold carbenes and the
definitions of metal carbenes and carbenoids, we recommend to use the term gold carbene …

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions are central to many organic synthesis
methodologies. Traditionally, Pd, Ni, Cu, and Fe catalysts are used to promote these …

This Review showcases the ability of bi‐and tridentate ligands to stabilize gold in high
oxidation states through the formation of mono‐and biscyclometalated gold (III) complexes …

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 …

An overview of reactive gold α‐oxo carbenoid intermediates in the gold‐catalyzed
functionalization of alkynes is presented. Such intermediates can be generated from inter …

Terminal 1, 2-dialkynylarenes undergo an unexpected cyclization hydroarylation reaction
toward naphthalene derivatives in benzene as the solvent. The regioselectivity of the …
