Abstract
Low loadings of a robust and recyclable heterogeneous gold catalyst with remarkable activity for promoting the electrophilic reactions of aryl vinyl ketones and aryl dienyl ketones enable different types of cationic reactions, including Nazarov cyclizations, lactonizations, and [1,2] shifts.
