Abstract

Gold catalysis has played a pivotal role in modern synthetic chemistry, facilitating the construction of complex core structures in synthetic molecules as well as in natural products. Over time, gold catalysis has become well known for its functional group tolerance, mild conditions and environmentally benign attributes. This review summarizes key developments of gold catalyzed reactions for the synthesis of biologically active natural products reported since 2021, emphasizing the strategic role of gold catalysis in addressing key synthetic challenges and highlighting its growing importance as a powerful methodology in modern natural product synthesis and the synthesis of their analogues.
