Challenge in Gold(I) Catalyzed Enantioselective Reactions

Au(I) predominately adopts a linear, bicoordinate geometry.

The chiral components would be distant from the substrates.

It is hard to control the enantioselectivity.

Conclusions• Gold(I) catalysts are superb Lewis acids for activation of

alkynes.

• Several enantioselective reactions catalyzed by gold(I) catalysts have been reported.

In the future,

• More enantioselective reactions could be found to be catalyzed by gold(I) species.

• Work should be done in understanding the mechanism of the enantioselective reaction.
