The Role of Gold Acetylides as a Selectivity Trigger and the Importance of gem-Diaurated Species in the Gold-Catalyzed Hydroarylating-Aromatization of Arene-Diynes

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of gold catalysts in catalyzing 1,2-dialkynylarenes was investigated, showing that gold plays a fascinating dual role serving to both catalyze the reaction and activate the substrate by Au-C-σ bond formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simple gold-catalyzed synthesis of benzofulvenes--gem-diaurated species as "instant dual-activation" precatalysts.

TL;DR: The use of tertiary alkyl groups, the isolation of gem-diauratedspecies which prove to be ideal precatalysts for this type of transformation, the dynamics of the equilibrium involving these diaurated species, and the catalyst transfer in the context of a detailed mechanistic discussion are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gold-Catalyzed C-H Annulation of Anthranils with Alkynes: A Facile, Flexible, and Atom-Economical Synthesis of Unprotected 7-Acylindoles.

TL;DR: The gold-catalyzed C-H annulation of anthranil derivatives with alkynes offers a facile, flexible, and atom-economical one-step route to unprotected 7-acylindoles and represents a versatile platform for the construction of diverse indolyl frameworks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis, structure and reactivity of organogold compounds of relevance to homogeneous gold catalysis

TL;DR: In this article, organogold(I) phosphane complexes were prepared, their structure was investigated and their reactivity in reactions with Michael acceptors, sources of electrophilic halogens and protons were investigated.
