Abstract
Abstract The omnipresent character of C−H bonds in organic molecules gives a wide variety of opportunities for the synthesis of a number of functionalized molecules by the activation of the C−H bonds. One of those methods is gold‐catalyzed C−H activation. Recent developments in the area of gold‐catalyzed C−H activation involves annulation reactions leading to the formation of heterocyclic compounds, Au‐catalyzed cross coupling reactions, and C−H functionalization reactions with high atom efficiency. In this short review we summarize the developments and studies carried out in gold‐catalyzed C−H activation over the past decade.
