Abstract: 

For organic chemists, the construction of C-C bonds is the most
essential aspect of the assembly of molecules.
Transition‐metal‐catalyzed coupling reactions have evolved as one of the
key tools for this task. Lately, gold has also emerged as a catalyst
for this kind of transformation. Gold, with its special properties as a
mild carbophilic π Lewis acid, its ability to insert into C-H bonds,
and, as discovered recently, its ability to undergo redox
transformations, offers the opportunity to apply all this potent
proficiency for the construction of compounds in an efficient and
economical way. This Minireview critically presents the C-C coupling
reactions enabled by gold catalysts to encourage further research
activities in this promising area of oxidation/reduction gold catalysts.
