Abstract INTRODUCTION RESULTS DISCUSSION MATERIALS AND METHODS Acknowledgments Supplementary Materials REFERENCES Information & Authors Metrics & Citations View Options References Figures Tables Media Share Abstract In the past two decades, oxidant-free, ligand-enabled gold(I)/gold(III) [Au(I)/Au(III)] catalysis has become a potential complement to palladium(0)/palladium(II) [Pd(0)/Pd(II)] catalysis in diverse transformation, yet broadly general ligands for Au(I)/Au(III) catalysis remain...

| Nature Verified
Abstract Benzocyclobutenes (BCBs) represent a highly strained, privileged structural motif with significant applications in drug discovery, medicinal chemistry, organic synthesis, polymers and materials science, yet efficient synthetic methods remain limited. Here, we report an oxidant-free Au(I)/Au(III)-catalyzed [2 + 2] annulation strategy for the synthesis of BCBs leveraging a unique class of rationally designed hemilabile C,N-bidentate N-heterocyclic carbene ligand (NHC).
