Steric, Electronic and Conformational Synergistic Effects in the Gold(I)-catalyzed α-C-H Bond Functionalization of Tertiary Amines

David F. Leon Rayo et al.

Summary: This study presents a unique approach for the electrophilic Au-catalyzed alpha-C-H bond functionalization of tertiary amines. The success of this transformation relies on the synergistic effects of electronic, steric, and conformational factors induced by a malonate unit in the substrate. The application of this new reactivity to the synthesis of tetrahydro-gamma-carboline products is of great significance for the development of bioactive alkaloid natural products.

1,2-Migrations onto Gold Carbene Centers

Tao Wang et al.

Summary: Gold carbenes are highly active in homogeneous gold catalysis, facilitating various transformations including C-H/X-H insertions, cyclopropanations, and 1,2-migrations. While 1,2-migrations onto gold carbene centers have received less attention compared to other reactions, they have the potential to be a powerful tool for constructing molecular complexity rapidly and simply.

Construction of Tricyclic Nitrogen Heterocycles by a Gold(I)-Catalyzed Cascade Cyclization of Allenynes and Application to Polycyclic π-Electron Systems

Hiroki Komatsu et al.

Summary: A novel method based on gold-catalyzed cascade cyclization of aminoallenynes for the direct construction of tricyclic nitrogen heterocycles is described. Efficient synthesis of 1,2-dihydrobenzo[cd]indole derivatives was achieved by promoting the expected biscyclization reaction of hydroxyisobutyryl-protected aminoallenynes with a catalytic amount of BrettPhosAuNTf(2) in the presence of iPrOH. The resulting tricyclic products were further converted into nitrogen-containing polycyclic aromatic compounds (N-PACs) with highly conjugated pi-electron systems.

Gold-Catalyzed Synthesis of π-Extended Carbazole-Based Systems and their Application as Organic Semiconductors

Christoph M. Hendrich et al.

Summary: This study presents a gold-catalyzed bidirectional synthesis method for N-heteropolycyclic compounds bearing carbazole moieties, resulting in the synthesis of four previously unknown core structures. The approach is convergent and modular, with a key step involving a gold-catalyzed cascade reaction starting from stable di-azido compounds. The synthesized molecules were fully characterized, and their optical and electronic properties, as well as their performance in organic thin-film transistors generated by vacuum deposition, were studied, with charge-carrier mobilities of up to 0.3 cm(2)/Vs measured.

Divergent Gold Catalysis: Unlocking Molecular Diversity through Catalyst Control

Chetan C. Chintawar et al.

Summary: Gold complexes have emerged as powerful catalysts in divergent catalysis, offering unique reactivity profiles due to their tunable soft pi-acidic nature. They not only catalyze reactions of alkynes, alkenes, and allenes effectively, but also provide divergent reaction pathways over other pi-acid catalysts like Ag, Pt, Pd, Rh, Cu, In, Sc, Hg, Zn, etc. Reviews documenting such examples are sporadic, hindering the further development of this burgeoning field, thus necessitating a unified approach like Divergent Gold Catalysis (DGC) to consolidate reports and pave the way for advancement.
