Recent developments in enantioselective gold(I) catalysis.
TL;DR: An overview of enantioselective gold(I) catalysis since 2005 suggests that new approaches and strategies have emerged over the past two years, leading to the development of a number of effective gold( I)-catalyzed enantioseslective transformations, most notably the enantiOSElective hydrofunctionalization of allenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold-Catalyzed Hydroamination of C–C Multiple Bonds
Ross A. Widenhoefer,Xiaoqing Han +1 more
TL;DR: A brief overview of the gold-catalyzed hydroamination of C-C multiple bonds can be found in this paper, where gold catalysts have been applied as catalysts for a number of selective organic transformations including unactivated alkenes, alkynes, allenes and 1, 3-dienes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Active Au(I) Catalyst for the Intramolecular exo-Hydrofunctionalization of Allenes with Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen Nucleophiles
TL;DR: A Au(I)-catalyzed intramolecular hydroamination of N-allenyl carbamates tolerated substitution at the alkyl and allenyl carbon atoms and was effective for the formation of piperidine derivatives and the corresponding oxygen heterocycles in good yield with high exo-selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Platinum-catalyzed intramolecular hydroamination of unactivated olefins with secondary alkylamines.
TL;DR: A number of gamma- and delta-amino olefins underwent intramolecular hydroamination to form the corresponding pyrrolidine derivatives in moderate to good yield and displayed excellent functional group compatibility and low moisture sensitivity.
