| Summary: | Homogeneous gold catalysis has been one of the most active research fields in organic chemistry for more than a decade, and it has been also among the most efficient methodologies for forming carboncarbon or carbonheteroatom bonds. Recently, a number of organogold intermediates were isolated from stoichiometric reactions, which helps to better understand the mechanisms. Meanwhile, the reactivity of organogold compounds has been attracting the attention of organic chemists in the field. This
tutorial review
collects the most recent advances in the isolation and reactivity of organogold compounds that may help to open new directions in homogenous gold catalysis.
The isolated or detected organogold intermediates not only serve as direct evidence for the proposed mechanisms, but also help to develop new gold-catalyzed transformations. |

| Bibliography: | Leping Liu completed his PhD at East China Normal University, Shanghai, China in 2007. Right after his graduation, he joined Prof. G. B. Hammond group at University of Louisville, Kentucky, USA as a postdoctoral fellow, and continues his appointment of Research Associate in the same group. Leping Liu's research interests mostly focus on transition metal catalyzed transformations, especially the current very active area of homogeneous gold catalysis. Gerald B. Hammond obtained his PhD from the University of Birmingham, England. Following an academic career at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Professor Hammond moved to the University of Louisville in 2004, where he is currently Endowed Chair in Organic Chemistry. His main research interests focus on the construction of organic molecules, especially fluorine-related ones, and natural products-based drug discovery studies on Peruvian plants.
