Recent Advances in Gold-Catalyzed Transformations of Vinyldiazo Reagents

Abstract

Since the seminal report by Liu and coworkers in 2011, gold-catalyzed transformations of vinyldiazo compounds have become an important synthetic tool allowing the identification of new reaction patterns that have greatly expanded the versatility of these reagents. In this short review, we aim to showcase the most relevant advances in this exciting research topic.
