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.

Promotion by sulfur of gold catalysts for crotyl alcohol formation from crotonaldehyde hydrogenation
TL;DR: The first example of the promotion of gold by sulfur was reported in this paper, showing that supported gold catalysts increased the rate of formation of the unsaturated alcohol for the hydrogenation of the α,β-unsaturated aldehyde, crotonaldehyde.
Addition of heterocycles to electron deficient olefins and alkynes catalyzed by gold(III)
Zigang Li,Zhangjie Shi,Chuan He +2 more
TL;DR: A gold(III)-catalyzed catalyzed hydroarylation of different olefins is reported in this paper, which tolerates different functional groups such as aldehyde, carboxylic acid, nitrile and is highly efficient.
Gold catalysis: on the phenol synthesis.
TL;DR: Several other late transition metals with d(8) configuration allow this conversion, providing evidence for Au(III) being a catalytically active species, and gold was still the most active catalyst and gives the cleanest conversion.
First intramolecular aromatic substitution by gold(III) of a ligand other than pyridine derivatives. Synthesis and crystal structure of the novel five-membered cycloaurated complex of 1-ethyl-2-phenylimidazole
TL;DR: In this article, the first example of cycloauration of a substrate other than pyridine derivatives was established by the formation of [AuCl2(epi-C1,N)] [epi = 2-(1-ethyl-2-imidazolyl)phenyl] from the reaction between the adduct and AgBF4.
