Within the wide family of gold-catalyzed reactions, gold photocatalysis intrinsically features
unique elementary steps. When gold catalysis meets photocatalysis, a valence change of …

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 catalysis has proven to be an important breakthrough for organic synthesis. The
tunable nature of gold catalysts, the unique properties of gold, and the mild reaction …

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 …

Over the past decade the organometallic chemistry of gold (III) has seen remarkable
advances. This includes the synthesis of the first examples of several compound classes that …

Transition metal (TM) catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are the utmost versatile and
reliable methods for the production of many industrially important fine chemicals. The …

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 …

The coupling of aryl or vinyl halides with terminal acetylenes catalysed by palladium and
other transition metals, commonly termed as Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction, is one of …

Research in the mid 1960s to early 1970s sparked an evolution in the approach of synthetic
chemists toward the assembly of molecules. Inspired by known Wacker-type processes in …

1. INTRODUCTION Bulk gold, being the most stable among all metals, was for many years
considered as an inert catalyst. However, gold particles with size on the scale of nanometers …
