Abstract
Great progress has been made in developing of homogeneous Au-catalyzed reactions in the past decade. The unique versatility and efficiency of gold complexes have been obtained including carbene ligated gold complexes. Due to the special linear coordination mode of gold(I) complex, Au catalyzed asymmetric reactions have become a huge challenge. Chiral carbene-gold complexes also have been applied in asymmetric reactions. Major breakthrough in this field has been obtained by the Toste group recently and more are expected in the future. This digest, by highlighting recent works, aims to make further progress in this fascinating research field.
