Tethering a metal complex to its phosphate counterion via a phosphine ligand enables a new strategy in asymmetric counteranion-directed catalysis (ACDC). A straightforward, scalable synthetic route gives access to the gold(I) complex of a phosphine displaying a chiral phosphoric acid function. The complex generates a catalytically active species with an unprecedented intramolecular relationship between the cationic Au(I) center and the phosphate counterion. The benefits of tethering the two functions of the catalyst are demonstrated here in a tandem cycloisomerization/nucleophilic addition reaction, by attaining high enantioselectivity levels (up to 97% ee) at an unusually low 0.2 mol % catalyst loading. Remarkably, the method is also compatible with a silver-free protocol.
Synthesis of highly substituted furans by the electrophile-induced coupling of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones and nucleophiles

The coupling of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones with nucleophiles, either catalyzed by AuCl3 or induced by an electrophile, provides highly substituted furans in good to excellent yields under very mild reaction conditions. Various nucleophiles, i
