In the total synthesis of (+)-lycopladine A by Toste et al. [30], a gold-catalyzed 5-endo cyclization of an iodoalkyne with a silyl enol ether has been used (Scheme 16.25). This transformation efficiently produces a -unsaturated bicyclic ketone that possesses the required quaternary asymmetric center at the position a to the carbonyl group. The vinyl iodide functionaiity generated during the cyclization was subsequently used in a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction in order to construct the pyridine ring of (-F)-lycopladine A. 

With this investigation, we could also contribute to the discussion whether gold complexes are able to catalyze cross coupling like the Suzuki or the Sonogashira coupling. Initial work of Corma et al. [79-81] on this subject could not be... 

Since iron-catalyzed cross coupling also is a hot topic, we investigated the transmetalation from gold(I) to iron or ruthenium, which proceeded readily (Scheme 13) [84]. 

Cyclotrimerizations of phenylethynes using palladium-dppf complexes have been studied, and the coordination chemistry of l,T-bis(diphenylselenophosphoryl)ferrocene with gold and silver has been investigated. The novel l,l, 2,2 -tetrakis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4 -di-/ tt-butylferrocene-type phosphines may be used as ligands in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling and Heck alkylation of aryl halides. 

In 2010, Gouverneur and coworkers reported a novel cascade cyclization-intermolecular alkynylation reactions toward the synthesis of five-membered 0-heterocycles. /i-Alkynyl-y-butenolides 2 could be efficiently prepared from allenoates 1 and terminal alkynes in the presence of a gold catalyst with the use of Selectfluor as an external oxidant (Scheme 12.1) [5]. This process involves a direct C(sp)-H functionalization of terminal alkynes. This novel gold-catalyzed cascade cyclization oxidative cross-coupling process provides a basis for the development of novel cascade reactions combining traditional gold catalysis and intermolecular oxidative alkynylation. 

This reaction was believed to proceed via a tandem sequence consisting of gold-catalyzed C(sp )-H/C(sp)-H cross-coupling/cyclization/oxidative alkynylation.
