Coumarin skeletons are significant structural units frequently used in the fields of synthetic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Herein, we report a hemilabile P,N-ligand-assisted gold-catalyzed difunctionalization of activated alkynes with organohalides. The reaction occurs effectively under mild conditions without requiring an external oxidant, producing a variety of 3-arylated and alkenylated coumarin derivatives in high to excellent yields. This method demonstrates a wide substrate tolerance and superb functional group compatibility and is also suitable for heteroaromatic substrates. Further mechanistic investigations strongly support the proposed mechanism of the reaction.

The unprecedent gold-catalyzed intermolecular 1,2-difunctionalization of nitriles with o-iodophenols or o-iodoanilines via Au(I)/Au(III) redox catalysis has been developed, providing an expedient route to the synthesis of benzoxazoles or benzimidazoles with broad substrate scope and high functional compatibility. Mechanistic investigation reveals that the Au(III)-Ar species generated via oxidative addition of o-iodophenol to MeDalphosAu, serves as a key intermediate. Particularly, this annulation is initiated by oxidative addition, rather than the nucleophilic attack of the phenol moiety in o-iodophenol towards the nitrile.

A one-pot domino protocol employing gold(I) catalysis has been developed for the cascade trifluoromethyl-amination/sulfoximination of quinones. Togni I serves as the trifluoromethyl installing precursor, while amine or sulfoximine serves as the aminating source. Preliminary investigations suggest a mutual activation of Togni I and the amine precursor, facilitating the facile difunctionalization of quinones with excellent regioselectivity.

Herein, we disclose the first report of 1,2-difunctionalization of C-C multiple bonds using electrochemical gold redox catalysis. By adopting the electrochemical strategy, the inherent π-activation and cross-coupling reactivity of gold catalysis are harnessed to develop the oxy-alkynylation of allenoates under external-oxidant-free conditions. Detailed mechanistic investigations such as P NMR, control experiments, mass studies, and cyclic voltammetric (CV) analysis have been performed to support the proposed reaction mechanism.

Dinuclear-gold-catalyzed radical difunctionalization of alkyl bromides with 1,7-enynes has been established dehalogenation and 1,5-HAT processes. This protocol was used to construct, in a facile and efficient manner, a wide range of cyclopenta[]quinolines bearing two quaternary carbon centers with good yields (28 examples, up to 84% yield). The good functional group compatibility and gram-scale preparation ability of the reaction proved its synthetic robustness.
