Abstract
Reaction of (P)AuOTf [P=P(t-Bu)2o-biphenyl] with indenyl- or 3-methylindenyl lithium led to isolation of gold η1-indenyl complexes (P)Au(η1-inden-1-yl) (1 a) and (P)Au(η1-3-methylinden-1-yl) (1 b), respectively, in >65 % yield. Whereas complex 1 b is static, complex 1 a undergoes facile, degenerate 1,3-migration of gold about the indenyl ligand (ΔG≠ 153K=9.1±1.1 kcal/mol). Treatment of complexes 1 a and 1 b with (P)AuNTf2 led to formation of the corresponding cationic bis(gold) indenyl complexes trans-[(P)Au]2(η1,η1-inden-1,3-yl) (2 a) and trans-[(P)Au]2(η1,η2-3-methylinden-1-yl) (2 b), respectively, which were characterized spectroscopically and modeled computationally. Despite the absence of aurophilic stabilization in complexes 2 a and 2 b, the binding affinity of mono(gold) complex 1 a toward exogenous (P)Au+ exceed that of free indene by ~350-fold and similarly the binding affinity of 1 b toward exogenous (P)Au+ exceed that of 3-methylindene by ~50-fold. The energy barrier for protodeauration of bis(gold) indenyl complex 2 a with HOAc was ≥8 kcal/mol higher than for protodeauration of mono(gold) complex 1 a.

Abstract
This Feature Article discusses recent advances in the development of cascade ring expansion reactions for the synthesis of medium-sized rings and macrocycles. Cascade ring expansion reactions have much potential for use in the synthesis of biologically important medium-sized rings and macrocycles, most notably as they don't require high dilution conditions, which are commonly used in established end-to-end macrocyclisation methods. Operation by cascade ring expansion method can allow large ring products to be accessed via rearrangements that proceed exclusively by normal-sized ring cyclisation steps. Ensuring that there is adequate thermodynamic driving force for ring expansion is a key challenge when designing such methods, especially for the expansion of normal-sized rings into medium-sized rings. This Article is predominantly focused on methods developed in our own laboratory, with selected works by other groups also discussed. Thermodynamic considerations, mechanism, reaction design, route planning and future perspective for this field are all covered.

Abstract
The domino reaction of alkyl and aryl isocyanides with two molecules of 2-arylidene-1,3-indanediones in acetonitrile at 80 °C resulted in unique functionalized spiro[dibenzo[a,f]azulene-6,2'-indenes] in good yields, in which the two 2-arylidene-1,3-indanediones acted as different building blocks to construct the polycyclic system. More importantly, the unprecedented anticipation of the ortho-position of benzylidene group to form a novel dibenzo[a,f]azulene ring through a formal [5 + 2] cycloaddition process was first observed. On the other hand, DABCO-promoted reaction of the isocyanides with two molecules of 2-arylidene-1,3-indanediones in acetonitrile at 80 °C afforded functionalized spiro[cyclopenta[a]-indene-2,2'-indene] derivatives.

Abstract
A novel domino cycloisomerization of 1,3-dien-5-ynes for the synthesis of 7H-benzo[7]annulenes is reported. The noticeable feature of this domino reaction involves the assembly of the fused bicyclic motifs through a transamidation/5-exo-trig cyclization/8π-electrocyclization sequence in a single step. Finally, mechanistic investigations were conducted experimentally and supported by DFT calculations.

Abstract
A highly efficient method for the synthesis of 2-pyridonyl alcohols via gold(I) catalyst was developed. The effect of methanesulfonic acid on the reaction progression with the gold catalyst was determined. The proposed mechanism involves intramolecular cyclization product formation derived from 5-exo-dig and 6-exo-dig addition of the nitrogen for 2-propargyloxypyridine and 2-(but-3-yn-1-yloxy)pyridine, respectively. The pyridinium salt formed by the gold(I) catalyst and methanesulfonic acid undergoes a rearrangement reaction in a weakly basic medium (5% aq. Na2CO3) to form N-alkenyl pyridonyl alcohols. N-alkenyl pyridonyl alcohols can be obtained in moderate to excellent yields using this method.

Abstract
A formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition between ynamides and unprotected isoxazol-5-amines has been developed in the presence of catalytic AgNTf2 in an open flask. By the protocol, a variety of functionalized 5-amino-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide derivatives can be obtained in up to 99% yield. The reaction mechanism might involve the generation of an unusual α-imino silver carbene intermediate (or a silver-stabilized carbocation) and subsequent cyclization/isomerization to build the significant pyrrole-3-carboxamide motif. The reaction features the use of an inexpensive catalyst, simple reaction conditions, simple work-up without column chromatographic purification for most of products and high yields.
