GASGOLD aims for the development of efficient Au(I)-catalysed methodologies for the challenging intermolecular synthesis of important monomers, oligomers and polymers of acetylene gas. Au(I)-catalysts allow for the formation of cyclopropyl Au(I)-carbenes after reaction with an alkyne and alkene. The carbenes are reactive towards rearrangement to form 1,3- dienes, which are important building blocks for a […]

Catalytic methods based on gold or other electrophilic metals
We propose to synthesize chiral gold catalysts based on new designs and to develop new synthetic methods based on the homogeneous catalytic chemistry of gold, and area in which our research group has been one of the pioneers. We will also study the potential use of other electrophilic metal complexes as alternative catalysts to gold, […]
