“…Compared to the stepwise approach, cascade reactions represent an attractive strategy in synthesis because multiple bond-forming and -cleaving events can be combined into a single reaction operation. Recently, transition-metal-catalyzed cascade processes have received significant attention [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Among these transition metals, silver salts have long been believed to have low catalytic efficiency, and most commonly served as either co-catalysts or weak Lewis acids [ 20 ].…”
