Abstract

Supported gold catalysts are highly active in oxidation reactions. Beside the most frequently studied CO oxidation, they are readily applied in the epoxidation of more or less complex olefinic compounds using air or oxygen directly or other oxidants like peroxides of various kinds. Less frequently though, the reverse reaction, ring opening with single or double C-O scission is also investigated. These and other ring making and breaking reactions are reviewed, and the catalytic roles of gold species are described.
