Abstract

Abstract Oxidizing gold? A gold (I)/gold (III) catalytic cycle is essential for the first oxidative cross-coupling reaction in gold catalysis. By using Selectfluor for gold (I) oxidation, this chemistry reveals the synthetic potential of incorporating gold (I)/gold (III) catalytic cycles into contemporary gold chemistry and promises a new area of gold research by merging powerful gold catalysis and oxidative metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
