TL;DR: In this article, products of an oxidative coupling were obtained in the gold(III)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of tertiary allenyl carbinols, and the absence of reduced organic products and an increase of these coupling products with the amount of gold (III) catalyst suggests that gold( III) is reduced in situ, possibly to gold(I) catalysts which were also shown to be active for these transformations.

TL;DR: In this article, the first time that a heterogeneous gold catalyst showed activity in the gold-catalysed phenol synthesis was reported, and the surface bound, cationic gold species is still active and can reach turnover numbers of up to 391.

TL;DR: The reaction of the binuclear gold(I) complex with ω-alkynylfurans furnished phenols as the major product and anellated furans as the side-products as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: 4 pages, 7 schemes, 1 figure, 2 tables.-- Supporting information for this article is available: http://www.angewandte.org or from the author.

TL;DR: Gold(III) chloride, mercury(II) perchlorate, thallium-III perchlorates and p-toluenesulfonic acid were found to efficiently catalyze the condensation of two furans with aldehydes or acetone as mentioned in this paper.
