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 complexes have emerged as the catalysts of choice for various functionalization
reactions of C–C multiple bonds due to their inherent carbophilic nature. In a parallel space …

Three-and four-membered rings, widespread motifs in nature and medicinal chemistry, have
fascinated chemists ever since their discovery. However, due to energetic considerations …

Chirality plays a crucial role in life-sustaining processes, and for this reason asymmetric
synthesis has been a central research theme in many research groups in the field of organic …

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 …

Presented herein is the first report of enantioselective Au (I)/Au (III) redox catalysis, enabled
by a newly designed hemilabile chiral (P, N)-ligand (ChetPhos). The potential of this concept …

Homogeneous gold catalysis has received growing attention over the past few years,
enabling the replacement of consolidated organic reactions with more simple, selective, and …

The construction of C–C and C–X (X= hetero atom) bonds is the core aspect for the
assembly of molecules. In this regard, late transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling …

Many mechanistically intriguing reactions have been developed in the last decade using
gold (I) as catalyst. Here we review the main mechanistic proposals in gold-catalysed …

Asymmetric gold catalysis has been rapidly developed in the past ten years. Breakthroughs
have been made by rational design and meticulous selection of chiral ligands. This review …
