Gold-Catalyzed Carbon−Heteroatom Bond-Forming Reactions

We have seen the work on gold catalysis to increase exponentially
\nin the last few years. This is specifically true for homogeneous
\ngold(I) and some gold(III) catalysts. Despite further
\nexpansion of gold catalysts to form C-O and C-N bonds, new
\ndevelopments are now starting for selective formation of C-S
\nand, especially, C-P, C-Si, and C-B bonds. This is a field that
\nmay offer new possibilities for gold catalysis.
