Abstract
Enantioselective synthesis of 3(2H)-furanones has been achieved using the intermolecular H-bonding activation of gold(I) chloride complexes. A DM-BINAP [(R)-(+)-2,2'-Bis[di(3,5-xylyl)phoshino]-1,1'-binaphthyl] digold(I) dichloride complex in combination with a sulfonyl squaramide (SO2Sq) has been identified as the optimal catalytic system. The process involves a 5-endo-dig oxa-cyclization followed by stereocontrolled addition of indoles. Interestingly, the soft L*Au-Cl activation by H-bonding allowed the recovery of both L*Au-Cl and the activator after chromatographic purification.

Abstract
Quinolines are biologically and pharmaceutically important N-heterocyclic aromatic compounds, which have broad applications in medicinal chemistry. Thus, their efficient synthesis has attracted extensive attention, and a broad range of synthetic strategies have been established. Of note, gold-catalyzed methodologies for the synthesis of quinolines have greatly advanced this field. Various gold-catalyzed intermolecular annulation reactions, such as annulations of aniline derivatives with carbonyl compounds or alkynes, annulations of anthranils with alkynes, and annulations based on A3-coupling reactions, as well as intramolecular cyclization reactions of azide-tethered alkynes, 1,2-diphenylethynes, and 2-ethynyl N-aryl indoles, have been developed. This review provides an overview of this exciting research area. Typical achievements in reaction methodologies and plausible reaction mechanisms are summarized.

Abstract
Cycloaddition reactions play a pivotal role in synthetic chemistry for the direct assembly of cyclic architectures. However, hurdles remain for extending the C4 synthon to construct diverse heterocycles via programmable [4+n]-cycloaddition. Here we report an atom-economic and modular intermolecular cycloaddition using furan-fused cyclobutanones (FCBs) as a versatile C4 synthon. In contrast to the well-documented cycloaddition of benzocyclobutenones, this is a complementary version using FCB as a C4 reagent. It involves a C-C bond activation and cycloaddition sequence, including a Rh-catalyzed enantioselective [4 + 2]-cycloaddition with imines and an Au-catalyzed diastereoselective [4 + 4]-cycloaddition with anthranils. The obtained furan-fused lactams, which are pivotal motifs that present in many natural products, bioactive molecules, and materials, are inaccessible or difficult to prepare by other methods. Preliminary antitumor activity study indicates that 6e and 6 f exhibit high anticancer potency against colon cancer cells (HCT-116, IC50 = 0.50 ± 0.05 μM) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells (KYSE-520, IC50 = 0.89 ± 0.13 μM), respectively.

Abstract
Described herein is an efficient copper-catalyzed tandem alkyne indolylcupration-initiated 1,2-indole migration/6π-electrocyclic reaction of allene-ynamides with indoles by the in situ-generated metal carbenes. This method allows the efficient synthesis of valuable indole-fused spirobenzo[f]indole-cyclohexanes with high regio- and stereoselectivity. In addition, this reaction affords rapid access to the functionalized spirobenzo[f]indole-cyclohexanes in the absence of indoles by a presumable 5-exo-dig cyclization/Friedel-Crafts alkylation via copper-containing all-carbon 1,4-dipoles.

Abstract
A one-pot gold-catalyzed acyl migration followed by ytterbium-catalyzed asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation is disclosed, leading to the rapid synthesis of chiral dihydrocarbazoles and dihydrodibenzofuran in generally moderate to good overall yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities. The gold-catalyzed acyl migration of propargyl acetates generates α-ylidene-β-diketones with high E/Z ratios, which are then subjected to the ytterbium-catalyzed asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation without any purification. Importantly, this protocol provides a new type of substrate for asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Abstract
Gold complexes, because of their unique carbophilic nature, have evolved as efficient catalysts for catalyzing various functionalization reactions of C-C multiple bonds. However, the realization of enantioselective transformations via gold catalysis remains challenging due to the geometrical constraints and coordination behaviors of gold complexes. In this context, merged gold/organocatalysis has emerged as one of the intriguing strategies to achieve enantioselective transformations which could not be possible by using a single catalytic system. Historically, in 2009, this field started with the merging of gold with axially chiral Brønsted acids and chiral amines to achieve enantioselective transformations. Since then, based on the unique reactivity profiles offered by each catalyst, several reports utilizing gold in conjunction with various chiral organocatalysts such as amines, Brønsted acids, N-heterocyclic carbenes, hydrogen-bonding and phosphine catalysts have been documented in the literature. This article demonstrates an up-to-date development in this field, especially focusing on the mechanistic interplay of gold catalysts with chiral organocatalysts.

Abstract
Gold (III) cyclometalated based amphiphiles in aqueous media have been revealed with excellent supramolecular transformations to external stimuli to open new pathways for soft functional material fabrications. Herein, we report a new chiral cyclometalated gold (III) amphiphile (GA) assembling into lamellar nanostructures in aqueous media confirmed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Counterion exchange with D-, L-, or racemic-camphorsulfonates features the significant supramolecular helicity enhancements, enabling transformations of GA from lamellar structure to vesicles and to nanotubes with multi-equivalents of counterion. The limited cytotoxicity of GA in aqueous media exhibits good biocompatibility.

Abstract
Bifunctional ligand-enabled cooperative gold catalysis accelerates nucleophilic attacks and offers a versatile strategy to achieve asymmetric gold catalysis. Distinct from the prior studies employing alkyne/allene as the electrophilic site, this work engages an in situ-generated alkenyl/acyl gold carbene in a ligand-facilitated attack by an alcoholic nucleophile. With an amide-functionalized chiral binaphthylphosphine ligand, γ-alkoxy-α,β-unsaturated imides are formed with excellent enantiomeric excesses. The intermediacy of a carbene species is supported by its alternative access via dediazotization. The reaction tolerates a broad range of alcohols and can accommodate dienynamide substrates, in addition to arylenynamides. This work avails a versatile strategy to enrich gold chemistry and achieve challenging enantioselective gold catalysis via ligand-facilitated enantioselective trapping of reactive intermediates.

Abstract
Gold redox catalysis, often facilitated by hypervalent iodine(III) reagents, offers unique reactivity but its progress is mainly hindered by an incomplete mechanistic understanding. In this study, we investigated the reaction between the gold(I) complexes [(aryl)Au(PR3 )] and the hypervalent iodine(III) reagent PhICl2 , both experimentally and computationally and provided an explanation for the formation of divergent products as the ligands bonded to the gold(I) center change. We tackled this essential question by uncovering an intriguing transmetalation mechanism that takes place between gold(I) and gold(III) complexes. We found that the ease of transmetalation is governed by the nucleophilicity of the gold(I) complex, [(aryl)Au(PR3 )], with greater nucleophilicity leading to a lower activation energy barrier. Remarkably, transmetalation is mainly controlled by a single orbital - the gold dx 2 -y 2 orbital. This orbital also has a profound influence on the reactivity of the oxidative addition step. In this way, the fundamental mechanistic basis of divergent outcomes in reactions of aryl gold(I) complexes with PhICl2 was established and these observations are reconciled from first principles. The theoretical model developed in this study provides a conceptual framework for anticipating the outcomes of reactions involving [(aryl)Au(PR3 )] with PhICl2 , thereby establishing a solid foundation for further advancements in this field.

Abstract
Gold(I) catalysis has been recognized as a valuable tool for the unique transformation of multiple carbon-carbon bonds. Enantioselective π-catalysis based on gold(I) complexes is, however, still underdeveloped due to lack of privileged ligands. Herein, we present an accessible method to a new family of stable yet catalytically active chiral NHC-Au(I)-Cl complexes. The key to preserving a simultaneous fine balance between reactivity and stability in this newly developed family appears to be sterically hindered, but conformationally flexible NHC ligands. These could be easily accessed on a multigram scale by merging sterically hindered anilines with commercially available amino alcohols and amines via a four-steps synthetic sequence without the need for chromatographic purification. Further investigations of the catalytic activity of NHC-Au-Cl complexes identified the OH functionality incorporated into the NHC core as crucial for the level of enantioselectivity as well as the TsO- anion responsible for the activation of NHC-Au(I)-Cl. Finally, NMR studies and X-ray investigations revealed for the first time that the widely accepted ion metathesis (NHC-Au-Cl to NHC-Au-OSO2 R) responsible for the activation of NHC-Au-Cl complexes does not take place (or it is very slow) in commonly used MeNO2 in contrast to DCM.

Abstract
Enantioselective gold catalysis remains a challenging area of research. By harnessing gold-ligand cooperation in the presence of a chiral bifunctional phosphine ligand featuring a novel 3'-phosphine oxide moiety, highly enantioselective desymmetrization of 1-ethynylcyclobutanols is achieved, permitting access to chiral α-methylenecyclopentanones featuring a diverse array of chiral quaternary and tertiary centers. This cooperative gold catalysis also enables parallel kinetic resolution in gold catalysis, delivering cyclopentanone regioisomers with excellent enantiomeric excesses. DFT calculations of the transition states support the distinct mechanism of asymmetric induction via controlling the conformation of the bound substrate and hence dictating the ring bond undergoing migration.

Abstract
The gold π-acid activation under electrochemical conditions is achieved. While EAO allows easy access to gold(III) intermediates over alternative chemical oxidation under mild conditions, the reported examples so far are limited to coupling reactions due to the rapid AuIII reductive elimination. Using aryl hydrazine-HOTf salt as precursors, the π-activation reaction mode was realized through oxidation relay. Both alkene and alkyne di-functionalization were achieved with excellent functional group compatibility and regioselectivity, which extended the versatility and utility of electrochemical gold redox chemistry for future applications.

Abstract
Two different classes of stereoselective cyclizations have been developed using a chiral auxiliary approach with commercially available [JohnPhosAu(MeCN)SbF6 ] as catalyst. First, a stereoselective cascade cyclization of 1,5-enynes was achieved using the Oppolzer camphorsultam as chiral auxiliary. In this case, a one-pot cyclization-hydrolysis sequence was developed to directly afford enantioenriched spirocyclic ketones. Then, the stereoselective alkoxycyclization of 1,6-enynes was mediated by an Evans-type oxazolidinone. A reduction-hydrolysis sequence was selected to remove the auxiliary to give enantioenriched β-tetralones. DFT studies confirmed that the steric clash between the chiral auxiliary and alkene accounts for the experimentally observed diastereoselective cyclization through the Si face.

Abstract
The enantioselective transformation of easily accessible 1,2-diketones represents a quick pathway towards enantioenriched molecules. Herein, we disclose a copper-catalyzed atroposelective formal [4+1] annulation of 1,2-diketones with vinyl cations, enabling the efficient and atom-economical construction of axially chiral arylpyrroles bearing 1,3-dioxole moieties with good to excellent enantioselectivities under mild reaction conditions. Importantly, this methodology constitutes the first enantioselective formal [4+1] annulation of 1,2-diketones.

Abstract
Thiamine diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent enzymes possess the unique ability to generate a carbene within their active site. In this study, we sought to harness this carbene to produce a Au(I) N-heterocyclic complex directly in the active site of ThDP enzymes, thereby establishing a novel platform for artificial metalloenzymes. Because direct metalation of ThDP proved challenging, we synthesized a ThDP mimic that acts as a competitive inhibitor with a high affinity (Ki = 1.5 μM). Upon metalation with Au(I), we observed that the complex became a more potent inhibitor (Ki = 0.7 μM). However, detailed analysis of the inhibition mode, native mass spectrometry, and size exclusion experiments revealed that the complex does not bind specifically to the active site of ThDP enzymes. Instead, it exhibits unspecific binding and exceeds the 1:1 stoichiometry. Similar binding patterns were observed for other Au(I) species. These findings prompt an important question regarding the inherent propensity of ThDP enzymes to bind strongly to Au. If this phenomenon holds true, it could pave the way for the development of Au-based drugs targeting these enzymes.

Abstract
Gold-catalyzed enantioselective thioallylation of propiolates proved effective in delivering highly enantio-enriched α-allyl-β-thioacrylates. In this work, we report a revised mechanism for this process based on the new mechanistic experiments and kinetic data in the presence of a competitive inhibitor. The employment of thioethers as nucleophiles inevitably involves their competitive binding to the only catalytic site of the Au(I) catalyst, which may inhibit the activity. We developed a modified Hammett plot in the presence of a dummy thioether inhibitor, which revealed a true kinetic profile, excluding the effect of inhibition. A revised mechanism suggested that the conjugate addition of thioethers to the Au(I)-activated alkynes is the turnover-limiting step, and the subsequent [3,3]-rearrangement occurs quickly, suggesting the efficacy of the sulfonium-based approach in accelerating Claisen rearrangement. In addition, the enantioselectivity was suggested to be determined during the sigmatropic rearrangement by discriminating the prochiral olefin faces of the allyl group in the σ-bound Au(I) complex.

Abstract
Au⋅⋅⋅H-X (X=N or C) hydrogen bonding is gaining increasing interest, both in the study of its intrinsic nature and in their operability in different fields. While the role of these interactions has been studied in the stabilization of gold(I) complexes, their role during the minimum free energy reaction pathway of a given catalytic process remains unexplored. We report herein that complex [Au(C≡CPh)(pip)] (pip=piperidine) catalyses the A3 -coupling reaction for the synthesis of propargylamines, thanks to the ability of Au(I) to promote weak hydrogen bonding interactions with the reactants along the free energy profile. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations show that these Au⋅⋅⋅H-X interactions play a directing role in the catalysed A3 -coupling. Topological non-covalent interactions (NCI), interaction region indicator (IRI) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis in real space of the electron density provide a description of these interactions accurately.

Abstract
A gold-catalyzed carbocyclization/imidization cascade reaction has been developed,leading a facile access to the synthesis of functionalized nitrones in moderate to good yields under mild conditions. The reaction initiated by a catalytic 6-endo-dig diazo-yne carbocyclization to form the key endocyclic vinyl carbene from alkyne-tethered diazo compounds, followed by addition with nitrosoarenes that features an imidization process. Notably, these resulting nitrone products could be smoothly converted into different substituted naphthalenol analogues, such as 4-aminonaphthalen-1-ol, naphthalene-1,4-dione, and naphthalene-1,4-diol derivatives, in high yields. Moreover, the generated products exhibited potential tumor suppression activity in tested cancer celllines; compound 3c (HCT116 cells, IC50 = 7.41 μM; MCF-7 cells, IC50 = 14.28 μM) exhibits higher anticancer potency than other tested compounds.

Abstract
By combining tandem asymmetric gold catalysis and subsequent stereoconvergent hydrolysis of enol ester in a one-pot process, hydroxylated propargylic esters are converted into chiral β-oxygenated ketones with mostly good enantiomeric ratios and in largely good to excellent yields. The product chiral center is formed via stereoselective cyclization of a hydroxylated allenyl ester intermediate, which is enabled by asymmetric gold-ligand cooperation.

Abstract
In this work, we report on the synthesis of several organogold(III) complexes based on 4,4'-diterbutylbiphenyl (C^C) and 2,6-bis(4-terbutylphenyl)pyridine (C^N^C) ligands and bond with variously substituted pyridine ligands (pyrR). Altogether, 33 complexes have been prepared and studied with mass spectrometry using higher-energy collision dissociation (HCD) in an Orbitrap mass spectrometer. A complete methodology including the kinetic modeling of the dissociation process based on the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) statistical method is proposed to obtain critical energies E0 of the pyrR loss for all complexes. The capacity of these E0 values to describe the pyridine ligand effect is further explored, at the same time as more classical descriptors such as 1H pyridinic NMR shift variation upon coordination and Au-NpyrR bond length measured by X-ray diffraction. An extensive theoretical work, including density functional theory (DFT) and domain-based local pair natural orbital coupled-cluster theory (DLPNO-CCSD(T)) methods, is also carried out to provide bond-dissociation energies, which are compared to experimental results. Results show that dissociation energy outperforms other descriptors, in particular to describe ligand effects over a large electronic effect range as seen by confronting the results to the pyrR pKa values. Further insights into the Au-NpyrR bond are obtained through an energy decomposition analysis (EDA) study, which confirms the isolobal character of Au+ with H+. Finally, the correlation between the lability of the pyridine ligands toward the catalytic efficiency of the complexes could be demonstrated in an intramolecular hydroarylation reaction of alkyne. The results were rationalized considering both pre-catalyst activation and catalyst reactivity. This study establishes the possibility of correlating dissociation energy, which is a gas-phase descriptor, with condensed-phase parameters such as catalysis efficiency. It therefore holds great potential for inorganic and organometallic chemistry by opening a convenient and easy way to evaluate the electronic influence of a ligand toward a metallic center.

Abstract
Hydroamination, the addition of an N-H bond across a C-C multiple bond, is a reaction with a great synthetic potential. Important advances have been made in the last decades concerning catalysis of these reactions. However, controlling the regioselectivity in the amine addition toward the formation of anti-Markovnikov products (addition to the less substituted carbon) still remains a challenge, particularly in intermolecular hydroaminations of alkenes and alkynes. The goal of this review is to collect the systems in which intermolecular hydroamination of terminal alkynes and alkenes with anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity has been achieved. The focus will be placed on the mechanistic aspects of such reactions, to discern the step at which regioselectivity is decided and to unravel the factors that favor the anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity. In addition to the processes entailing direct addition of the amine to the C-C multiple bond, alternative pathways, involving several reactions to accomplish anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity (formal hydroamination processes), will also be discussed in this review. The catalysts gathered embrace most of the metal groups of the Periodic Table. Finally, a section discussing radical-mediated and metal-free approaches, as well as heterogeneous catalyzed processes, is also included.

Abstract
Herein, we reported an intermolecular asymmetric hydrative aldol reaction through vinyl-gold intermediate under ambient conditions. This tandem alkyne hydration and sequential nucleophilic addition afforded a "base-free" approach to β-hydroxy amides with high efficiency (up to 95 % yields, >50 examples). Vinyl gold intermediate was applied as reactive nucleophile and Fe(acac)3 was used as the critical co-catalyst to prevent undesired protodeauration, allowing this transformation to proceed under mild conditions with good functional group tolerance and excellent stereoselectivity (>20 : 1 d.r. and up to 99 % ee).

Abstract
The gold π-acid activation under electrochemical condition is achieved for the first time. While EAO allowing easy access to gold(III) intermediates over alternative chemical oxidation under mild conditions, the reported examples so far limited to coupling reactions due to the rapid AuIII reductive elimination. Using aryl hydrazine-HOTf salt as precursors, the π-activation reaction mode was realized through oxidation relay. Both alkene and alkyne di-functionalization were achieved with excellent functional group compatibility and regioselectivity, which extended the versatility and utility of electrochemical gold redox chemistry for future applications to come.

Abstract
A new generation of chiral gold(I) catalysts based on variations of complexes with JohnPhos-type ligands with a remote C2-symmetric 2,5-diarylpyrrolidine have been synthesized with different substitutions at the top and bottom aryl rings: from replacing the phosphine by a N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) to increasing the steric hindrance with bis- or tris-biphenylphosphine scaffolds, or by directly attaching the C2-chiral pyrrolidine in the ortho-position of the dialkylphenyl phosphine. The new chiral gold(I) catalysts have been tested in the intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition of arylalkynes with alkenes and in the atroposelective synthesis of 2-arylindoles. Interestingly, simpler catalysts with the C2-chiral pyrrolidine in the ortho-position of the dialkylphenyl phosphine led to the formation of opposite enantiomers. The chiral binding pockets of the new catalysts have been analyzed by DFT calculations. As revealed by non-covalent interaction plots, attractive non-covalent interactions between substrates and catalysts direct specific enantioselective folding. Furthermore, we have introduced the open-source tool NEST, specifically designed to account for steric effects in cylindrical-shaped complexes, which allows predicting experimental enantioselectivities in our systems.

Abstract
Medium-sized ring-containing organic molecules, especially seven-membered rings, are significant structural motifs. However, such frameworks are considered difficult structures to access owing to entropic effects and transannular interactions. Compared to the construction of five and six-membered rings, the synthesis of seven-membered rings can be more challenging through traditional cyclization pathways. Büchner reactions are particularly attractive and efficient synthetic strategies to construct functionalized seven-membered ring products from the benzenoid double bond with carbene. In recent years, the field of transition-metal-catalyzed Büchner ring expansion reactions of alkynes has experienced a speedy development and a diverse array of efficient synthetic procedures have been disclosed under mild experimental conditions, as the synthesis of synthetically challenging seven-membered rings is easily achieved. In this review, we will focus on the recent progress in the transition-metal-catalyzed Büchner reaction of alkynes and the mechanistic rationale is depicted where possible, with the reactions being sorted according to the type of catalyst.

RSC Adv 2023; 13:18025-18037.

Abstract
Electrocyclizations of acyclic conjugated π-motifs have emerged as a versatile and effective strategy for accessing various ring systems with excellent functional group tolerability and controllable selectivity. Typically, the realization of 6π-electrocyclization of heptatrienyl cations to afford seven-membered motif has proven difficult due to the high-energy state of the cyclizing seven-membered intermediate. Instead, it undergoes the Nazarov cyclization, affording a five-membered pyrrole product. However, the incorporation of a Au(i)-catalyst, a nitrogen atom and tosylamide group in the heptatrienyl cations unexpectedly circumvented the aforementioned high energy state to afford a seven-membered azepine product via 6π-electrocyclization in the annulation of 3-en-1-ynamides with isoxazoles. Therefore, extensive computational studies were carried out to investigate the mechanism of Au(i)-catalyzed [4+3] annulation of 3-en-1-ynamides with dimethylisoxazoles to produce a seven-membered 4H-azepine via the 6π-electrocyclization of azaheptatrienyl cations. Computational results showed that after the formation of the key α-imino gold carbene intermediate, the annulation of 3-en-1-ynamides with dimethylisoxazole occurs via the unusual 6π-electrocyclization to afford a seven-membered 4H-azepine exclusively. However, the annulation of 3-cyclohexen-1-ynamides with dimethylisoxazole occurs via the commonly proposed aza-Nazarov cyclization pathway to majorly generate five-membered pyrrole derivatives. The results from the DFT predictive analysis revealed that the key factors responsible for the different chemo-, and regio-selectivities observed are the cooperating effect of the tosylamide group on C1, the uninterrupted π-conjugation pattern of the α-imino gold(i) carbene and the substitution pattern at the cyclization termini. The Au(i)-catalyst is believed to assist in the stabilization of the azaheptatrienyl cation.

Abstract
In the last decade, major advances have been made in homogeneous gold catalysis. However, AuI /AuIII catalytic cycle remains much less explored due to the reluctance of AuI to undergo oxidative addition and the stability of the AuIII intermediate. Herein, we report activation of aryl halides at gold(I) enabled by NHC (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) ligands through the development of a new class of L-shaped heterobidentate ImPy (ImPy=imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-ylidene) N,C ligands that feature hemilabile character of the amino group in combination with strong σ-donation of the carbene center in a rigid conformation, imposed by the ligand architecture. Detailed characterization and control studies reveal key ligand features for AuI /AuIII redox cycle, wherein the hemilabile nitrogen is placed at the coordinating position of a rigid framework. Given the tremendous significance of homogeneous gold catalysis, we anticipate that this ligand platform will find widespread application.

Abstract
[2,3]-Sigmatropic rearrangement reaction involving sulfonium ylide (Doyle-Kirmse reaction) generated from metal carbenes represents one of the powerful methods for the construction of C(sp3 )-S and C-C bonds. Although significant advances have been achieved, the asymmetric versions via the generation of sulfonium ylides from metal carbenes have been rarely reported to date, and they have so far been limited to diazo compounds as metal carbene precursors. Here, we describe a copper-catalyzed enantioselective Doyle-Kirmse reaction via azide-ynamide cyclization, leading to the practical and divergent assembly of an array of chiral [1,4]thiazino[3,2-b]indoles bearing a quaternary carbon stereocenter in generally moderate to excellent yields and excellent enantioselectivities. Importantly, this protocol represents a unique catalytic asymmetric Doyle-Kirmse reaction via a non-diazo approach and an unprecedented asymmetric [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement via α-imino metal carbenes.

Abstract
Herein, an I2 -catalyzed unprecedented cycloisomerization of ynamides is developed, furnishing various functionalized bis(indole) derivatives in generally good to excellent yields with wide substrate scope and excellent atom-economy. This protocol not only represents the first molecular-iodine-catalyzed tandem complex alkyne cycloisomerizations, but also constitutes the first chemoselective cycloisomerization of tryptamine-ynamides involving distinctively different C(sp3 )-C(sp3 ) bond cleavage and rearrangement. Moreover, chiral tetrahydropyridine frameworks containing two stereocenters are obtained with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivities and excellent enantioselectivities. Meanwhile, cycloisomerization and aromatization of ynamides produce pyrrolyl indoles with high efficiency enabled by I2 . Additionally, control experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that this reaction probably undergoes a tandem 5-exo-dig cyclization/rearrangement process.

Ali HS, Hussein AA, Obies M. Impact of counteranions on N-heterocyclic carbene gold(i)-catalyzed cyclization of propargylic amide. RSC Adv 2023; 13:2896-2902. [PMID: 36756396 PMCID: PMC9850360 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra06210k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) Au(i)-catalyzed organic synthesis has recently been receiving increasing attention, especially with the activation of alkynes. In contrast, counteranions, being widely problematic in Au(i)-catalyzed transformations, are commonly considered as innocent partners and are not respectably included in a computational model. Herein, we report density functional theory (DFT) investigations of the Au(i)-catalyzed cyclization of propargylic amides to exploit the mechanistic effect of several counteranions to shed some light for further future developments. Among the counteranions used in this study, NTf2 -, ClO4 -, TsO-, TFA-, TfO-, MsO-, and SbF6 -, both the cyclization and protodeauration step favor the 5-exo-dig product over the 6-endo-dig product when the alkyne moiety is terminated with hydrogen. These anions reveal a crucial influence on the energy profile through lowering the barriers of the reaction. Mechanistically, the results obtained from all counteranions show that the protodeauration is slower than the cyclization. By using an energetic span model, the results clearly indicate that the rate-determining state is the protodeauration step for all counteranions, and thus protodeauration is the turnover-limiting step. The turnover frequency (TOF) results for the formation of the 5-exo-dig product show cyclization reactivity in the order of MsO- > TFA- > ClO4 - > NTf2 - > TfO- > TsO- ≫ SbF6 -, whereas an order of TFA- > MsO- > NTf2 - > TfO- ≈ ClO4 - > SbF6 - ⋙ TsO- is calculated for the protodeauration, suggesting that SbF6 - and TsO- are disfavored due to their slow protodeauration. In this regard, and for the 6-endo-dig pathway, our conclusions demonstrate an order of TfO- > TFA- > MsO- > NTf2 - > ClO4 - > TsO- ⋙ SbF6 - for the cyclization and TFA- > TsO- > MsO- > TfO- > NTf2 - > ClO4 - ⋙ SbF6 - for the protodeauration, advocating that the anions SbF6 -, NTf2 - and ClO4 - are unlikely partners for the 6-endo-dig pathway because of their slow protodeauration. Finally, the findings here advise that any engineering of the counteranion to increase the efficiency of catalytic system would be more effective on the protodeauration step rather than the cyclization step.

Abstract
A new mesoporous MCM-41-immobilized dichloro(pyridine-2-carboxylato)gold(III) complex [MCM-41-PicAuCl2] was synthesized via an addition reaction of a dichloro(3-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylato)gold(III) complex to triethoxy(3-isocyanatopropyl)silane, followed by immobilization on MCM-41 and was characterized by different physico-chemical techniques. In the presence of 5 mol% of MCM-41-PicAuCl2, the annulation reaction between anthranils and ynamides proceeded smoothly under mild conditions to afford diverse 6- or 5-formylindoles with high atom economy and good to excellent yields. This new heterogenized gold(III) complex can be easily recovered through a simple filtration process and recycled more than seven times without any apparent loss of its catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Several gold +I and +III complexes are investigated computationally and spectroscopically, focusing on the d-configuration and physical oxidation state of the metal center. Density functional theory calculations reveal the non-negligible electron-sharing covalent character of the metal-to-ligand σ-bonding framework. The bonding of gold(III) is shown to be isoelectronic to the formal CuIII complex [Cu(CF3 )4 ]1- , in which the metal center tries to populate its formally unoccupied 3dx2-y2 orbital via σ-bonding, leading to a reduced d10 CuI description. However, Au L3 -edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveals excitation into the d-orbital of the AuIII species is still possible, showing that a genuine d10 configuration is not achieved. We also find an increased electron-sharing nature of the σ-bonds in the AuI species, relative to their AgI and CuI analogues, due to the low-lying 6s orbital. We propose that gold +I and +III complexes form similar bonds with substrates, owing primarily to participation of the 5dx2-y2 or 6s orbital, respectively, in bonding, indicating why AuI and AuIII complexes often have similar reactivity.

Abstract
Gold(II) complexes are rare, and their application to the catalysis of chemical transformations is underexplored. The reason is their easy oxidation or reduction to more stable gold(III) or gold(I) complexes, respectively. We explored the thermodynamics of the formation of [AuII (L)(X)]+ complexes (L=ligand, X=halogen) from the corresponding gold(III) precursors and investigated their stability and spectral properties in the IR and visible range in the gas phase. The results show that the best ancillary ligands L for stabilizing gaseous [AuII (L)(X)]+ complexes are bidentate and tridentate ligands with nitrogen donor atoms. The electronic structure and spectral properties of the investigated gold(II) complexes were correlated with quantum chemical calculations. The results show that the molecular and electronic structure of the gold(II) complexes as well as their spectroscopic properties are very similar to those of analogous stable copper(II) complexes.

Abstract
Herein, we report a facile and efficient synthetic method to construct azepino[1,2-a]indoles through a novel gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of alkynylindoles. A wide range of functional groups can be well tolerated in this transformation, and the corresponding highly functionalized azepino[1,2-a]indole skeletons were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. Subsequent oxidation of the products gave the interesting and valuable polycyclic carbazoles, which were widely used as the key building blocks in materials science.

Abstract
We report a solid-state structural investigation of diametric calix[6]arene-based phosphine gold(I) cavitands which are characterised by two specific, different 1,2,3-alternate conformations in solution and in the solid state. The effect of the specific orientation of phosphines, with respect to macrocycles, was studied in intramolecular cyclopropanation of 1,6-dienynes. The general applicability of these catalysts was disclosed, delivering a family of polycycles with high yields and functional group tolerance.

A new mechanistic pathway of propargylic alcohol activation by gold(I) catalysis has been proposed toward the efficient synthesis of N-protected pyrroles, 5,6-dihydropyridin-3(4H)-ones from N-protected 5-aminopent-2-yn-1-ol, and 5-aminopent-2-yn-1-ol. Control experiments support that the reaction proceeded via the neighboring group participation of the oxygen atom of propargylic alcohol to form an allene oxide intermediate where the nucleophilic heteroatom attacks intramolecularly. Further, this methodology is successfully extrapolated toward the atom-economic synthesis of hydroxyalkyl indoles and benzofurans. The short reaction time of 30 s, low catalyst loading of 0.5 mol %, high yield, variation in the substrate scope, and procedurally simple open-flask reaction conditions make this methodology highly applied.
