Exploring the gold mine: [Au]-catalysed transformations of enynals, enynones and enynols

Abstract

Gold catalysed synthesis of carbo-/hetero-cyclic compounds is currently a topic of intense activity thanks to the unique properties bestowed upon gold by relativistic effects, the potential of which has been realised mainly during the past two decades. This review will dwell upon the reactions involving gold catalysis in which enynal, enynone or enynol is one of the reacting partners. Most often these reactions lead to fused hetero-/homo-cycles under mild conditions with environmentally benign byproducts. Thus an opportunity for the organic community to develop new methodologies, efficient asymmetric variants, and application in total synthesis by [Au]-catalysis has emerged.
