Gold catalysts promote addition reactions across carbon-carbon triple bonds through electrophilic activation

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Gold catalysts promote the addition of various reagents across carbon-carbon triple bonds primarily by acting as strong π-acids that electrophilically activate the alkyne moiety.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently support the well-established chemical understanding that gold catalysts function as carbophilic Lewis acids (π-acids) that electrophilically activate alkynes (carbon-carbon triple bonds) to promote addition, hydration, cyclization, and functionalization reactions.
