“…On the other hand, gold(I) complexes, recognized as strong π-acids, exhibit high affinity to C–C multiple bonds and feature kinetically labile carbon–metal bonds . This property makes them potent carbophilic catalysts for alkyne activation, driving diverse transformations. , For instance, gold complexes have been utilized to convert yne–enones into diverse furan derivatives and allenes (Scheme B), typically through furan-based metal 1,3-dipoles, o -quinodimethanes ( o QDMs), or allenyl-metal species. , …”
