Dinuclear gold catalysis
TL;DR: This comprehensive review highlights the particular properties of din nuclear gold-complexes, especially aurophilic interactions, and systematically summarizes the recent achievements of dinuclear gold-catalyzed coupling reactions, asymmetric catalysis, and photocatalysis, where dinuclearGold catalysts tend to show a greater advantage than the mononuclear gold catalysts.

Upgrading ketone synthesis direct from carboxylic acids and organohalides
TL;DR: A photoredox, nickel and phosphoranyl radical synergistic cross-electrophile coupling of commercially available chemicals, aromatic acids and aryl/alkyl bromides allows for concise synthesis of highly functionalized ketones directly, without the preparation of activated carbonyl intermediates or organometallic compounds, and thus complements the conventional Weinreb ketone synthesis.
Gold-Catalyzed Oxidative Biaryl Cross-Coupling of Organometallics
TL;DR: A general dimeric gold-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of arylboronates and arylsilanes without an external base for the synthesis, with excellent functional-group tolerance of asymmetric biaryls is reported.

TL;DR: In this article, an unprecedented C-H bond functionalization of cyclopropenes enabled by dinuclear gold catalysis was reported, which does not require strong external oxidants and affords access to functionalized cycloprostenes in moderate to good yields.

Gold-Catalyzed Organometallic Cross-Coupling
TL;DR: In this paper, a dinuclear gold-catalyzed organometallic cross-coupling of arylboronates and arylsilanes without external base for the synthesis, with excellent functional group tolerance of asymmetric biaryls.
