“…Quantum chemical calculations show that the reaction is thermodynamically driven by the relief of ring strain from the cyclopropylidene moiety, and that the Au(I) catalyst greatly lowers the barrier for rearrangement. The type of strain relief described herein has potential as a general tool for the development of alternatives to otherwise unfavourable sigmatropic reactions 11,12 .…”

Since the discovery of the Cope rearrangement in the 1940s, no asymmetric variant of the rearrangement of achiral 1,5-dienes has emerged, despite the successes that have been achieved with its heteroatom variants (Claisen, aza-Cope, etc.). This article reports the first example of an enantioselective Cope reaction that starts from an achiral diene. The new gold(I) catalyst derived from double Cl−-abstraction of ((S)-3,5-xylyl-PHANEPHOS(AuCl)2), has been developed for the sigmatropic rearrangement of alkenyl-methylenecyclopropanes. The reaction proceeds at low temperature and the synthetically useful vinylcyclopropane products are obtained in high yield and enantioselectivity. Density functional theory calculations predict that: (1) the reaction proceeds via a cyclic carbenium ion intermediate, (2) the relief of strain in the methylenecyclopropane moiety provides the thermodynamic driving force for the rearrangement and (3) metal complexation of the transition-state structure lowers the rearrangement barriers.

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-couplingr eactions are central to many organic synthesis methodologies. Traditionally,P d, Ni, Cu, and Fe catalysts are used to promote these reactions. Recently,m any studies have showedt hat both homogeneous and heterogeneous Au catalysts can be used for activating selective cross-coupling reactions.H ere, an overview of the past studies, current trends, andf uture directions in the field of gold-catalyzed coupling reactions is presented.D esign strategiest oa ccomplish selective homocoupling and cross-coupling reactions under both homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions, computational and ex-perimental mechanistic studies, and their applicationsi nd iverse fields are critically reviewed. Specific topics covered are:o xidant-assisted and oxidant-free reactions;s train-assisted reactions;d ual Au and photoredoxc atalysis;b imetallic synergistic reactions;m echanismso fr eductivee limination processes;e nzyme-mimicking Au chemistry;c lustera nd surface reactions;a nd plasmonic catalysis. In the relevant sections, theoretical and computational studies of Au I /Au III chemistry are discussed and the predictionsf rom the calculationsa re compared with the experimental observations to derive useful design strategies.A.

“…The reasons are that the sizes calculated by Scherrer equation are just rough average values and have large error. And Scherrer equation has the detection limit of amount and particle size of the target crystallite material in mixed or composite materials [47][48][49]. When the size of nanocrystals exceeds a certain value, the intensity and of diffraction peak and the half-width values will not increase or decrease, respectively, at the corresponding magnification with increase of the size of nanocrystals.…”
