Aminoindolines versus quinolines: mechanistic insights into the reaction between 2-aminobenzaldehydes and terminal alkynes in the presence of metals and secondary amines.
TL;DR: DFT computational studies in the cyclization of aminoalkyne revealed that the mode of cyclization depends on the protecting group on nitrogen, the oxidation state of copper, and substitution on alkyne.

Total synthesis of (−)-epimyrtine by a gold-catalyzed hydroamination approach
TL;DR: A new approach to the total synthesis of (−)-epimyrtine has been developed from D-alanine by a gold-mediated cyclization and various transformations afforded the natural product in a few steps and good overall yield.

Ambient intermolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition: an example of carbophilicity and oxophilicity competition in Au/Ag catalysis.
TL;DR: The gold-catalyzed intermolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition of propargyl esters was achieved with good stereoselectivity and the "silver-free" condition was critical for this transformation.

Ligand effects in homogeneous Au catalysis.
TL;DR: The ways in which selectivity can be controlled in homogeneous Au catalysis are enumerated, in the hope that lessons to guide catalyst selection and the design of new catalysts may be distilled from a thorough evaluation of ligand, counterion, and oxidation state effects as they influence chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity in homogeneity AuCatalysis.
