L'or(I) dirigeix el contorsionisme molecular mitjançant
reaccions intramoleculars i intermoleculars d'enins per mitjà
d'intermedis ciclopropil o carbens altament distorsionats. La
síntesi de productes naturals com (+)-orienalol F i (-)-englerin A
mostra l'estat d'art de la catàlisi de l'or(I) per a construir complexitat
molecular.Gold(I) orchestrates molecular gymnastics by intraand
intermolecular reaction of enymes via highly distorted cyclopropyl
gold carbenes as intermediates. The synthesis of
natural products such as (+)-orientalol F and (−)-englerin A illustrates
the state of the art of gold (I) catalysis for the buildup
of molecular complexity
