Homogeneous catalysis by gold is not new: the roots reach back at least 70 years.[1] The catalysts are quite robust; an exclusion of water or oxygen in most cases is not necessary.[1, 2] Nevertheless, only very few publications in this field appeared up to the end of the year 2003. In a review on homogenous goldcatalyzed reactions from that year,[1] I concluded with the sentence “I am confident that these developments will accelerate in the near future, and that most people working in the field of homogeneous transition-metal catalysis will also give gold a chance on a regular basis”. Obviously many investigators had the same thought: since 2004 a sharp and continuing increase of the publications on homogeneous catalysis by gold complexes can be observed. Here, I would like to “highlight” some of the exciting new “claims” in this emerging field (excluding aspects recently reviewed elsewhere).[3–5]
