Abstract
In recent years, gold catalysis involving Au(I)/Au(III) redox cycle has gained significant attention. This account summarizes our contributions to the development of Au(I)/Au(III) catalysis, focusing on cross-coupling reactions and 1,2-difunctionalization reactions of C–C multiple bonds. A special emphasis has been given to understanding the mechanism of the reactions.
