Cyclopropyl groups are widely found in pharmaceutical products and their application as precursors or key reaction intermediates benefits the development of a wide range of reactions. Herein, we report a facile protocol for the synthesis of this compound through gold-catalyzed [2 + 1] cycloaddition of allenamides with sulfoxonium ylides. The reaction exhibited good functional group tolerance and high efficiency, affording the products in good to excellent yields with good diastereoisomerism. The steric hindrance between the sulfonamide group and the gold catalyst determined the major configuration of the formed -cyclopropane product. Moreover, the aldehyde could be converted to amide under Schmidt reaction conditions and alcohol under reduction conditions.

Gold(I)-catalyzed highly enantioselective [4 + 2] cycloadditions of 1,6-enynes were achieved by utilizing chiral bifunctional P,N ligand. A wide range of 1,6-enynes were converted to enantioenriched 5-6-6-fused tricyclic compounds under mild reaction condition (up to 99% ee). This chiral gold(I) complex was also employed in the first desymmetric cycloadditions of 1,6-diynes bearing single ester group at the tether (up to 93% ee), where 5-- pathway predominates over 6-- pathway.

Gold-catalyzed 5- hydroamination on -homopropargylic hydroxylamine gave expeditious access to methylene isoxazolidine. Excess catalyst loading led to facile 1,3-sulfonyl migration in a cascade fashion to furnish the isoxazoline. Mechanistic studies using react-IR and NMR as well as crossover experiments indicated that 1,3-sulfonyl group migration is an intramolecular concerted process.

Chiral eight-membered heterocycles comprise a diverse array of natural products and bioactive compounds, yet accessing them poses significant challenges. Here we report a gold-catalyzed stereoselective (4 + 4) cycloaddition as a reliable and divergent strategy, enabling readily accessible precursors (anthranils and -quinone methides) to be intercepted by generated gold-furyl 1,4-dipoles, delivering previously inaccessible chiral furan/pyrrole-containing eight-membered heterocycles with good results (56 examples, all >20 : 1 dr, up to 99% ee). Moreover, we achieve a remarkably efficient kinetic resolution (KR) process (s factor up to 747).

Covering: 2016 to mid 2023Transition metal catalysis, known for its remarkable capacity to expedite the assembly of molecular complexity from readily available starting materials in a single operation, occupies a central position in contemporary chemical synthesis. Within this landscape, gold-catalyzed reactions present a novel and versatile paradigm, offering robust frameworks for accessing diverse structural motifs. In this review, we highlighted a curated selection of publications in the past 8 years, focusing on the deployment of homogeneous gold catalysis in the ring-forming step for the total synthesis of natural products.
