Although gold was long thought to be an unreactive metal, the first gold-catalyzed reactions were reported over 30 years ago.[1] Since then, especially in recent years, this area of investigation has been growing rapidly.[2–4] The unique properties of Au as a π Lewis acid enable the development of novel routes to complex molecular structures.[5] Herein, we report a new gold-catalyzed domino cyclization and oxidative coupling reaction for the ...
