Homogeneous gold catalysts and alkynes: A successful liaison

  • Published:
Gold Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The use of the combination of homogeneous gold-catalysts and alkynes in organic synthesis is reviewed from its beginnings in C-N-bond formation to the newest developments in C-C-bond formation. The common basic principle of these reactions is discussed. Special attention is devoted to the question where the gold catalysts are superior to either other catalysts or more traditional synthetic approaches to the product molecules.

Additional information

About the Author A. Stephen K. Hashmi is professor for organic chemistry at the University at Stuttgart. He carried out his Diploma and PhD with Professor G. Szeimies at the Ludwigs-Maximilians-Universität München in the field of strained organic compounds. His postoc with Professor B. M. Trost at Stanford University covered transition metal catalysis. His time with Professor J. Mulzer at the Freie Universität Berlin, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt and Univertsität Wien, as well as during visits at the University of Tasmania and the Universität Marburg focused on both stoichiometric organometallic chemistry and transition metal catalyzed organic reactions, which are still the major topics in the group.
