The important types of transformations catalyzed by homogeneous Au(I) and Au(III) complexes or salts are reviewed. The reactions are organized mechanistically on the basis of the main functional group being activated by the gold catalyst. Particular emphasis is given on the most general reactions for the formation of CC bonds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
