Abstract: Although homogeneous gold catalysis was known previously, an exponential growth was only induced 12 years ago. The key findings which induce that rise of the field are discussed. This includes early reactions of allenes and furanynes and intermediates of these conversions as well as hydroarylation reactions. Other substrate types addressed are alkynyl epoxides and N-propargyl carboxamides. Important vinylgold intermediates, the transmetalation from gold to other transition metals, the development of new ligands for gold catalysis, and significant contributions from computational chemistry are other crucial points for the field highlighted here.

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.

Gold-catalyzed cycloisomerizations of enynes: a mechanistic perspective.
TL;DR: The proposed involvement of cyclopropyl metal carbenes of type 4 in the electrophilic activation of enynes by transition metals was first substantiated in reactions catalyzed by Pd(II), in which the initially formed cycloprostyl palladiumCarbenes undergo [4 + 2] cycloaddition with the double bond of the conjugate enyne.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the base is discussed and it is proposed that the base aids the initial dehydrogenation via H-abstraction of one of the primary OH groups of glycerol and, in the way, the rate limiting step in the oxidation process is overcome.
