Innenrücktitelbild: Trinuclear Gold‐Catalyzed 1,2‐Difunctionalization of Alkenes (Angew. Chem. 34/2023).

Alkenes, Difunctionalization, Gold Catalysis, Photoredox Catalysis, Radical In their Research Article (e202305121), Jin Xie and co-workers overcome the inherent redox potential limit of alkyl bromides and achieve 1,2-aminoalkylation and 1,2-alkylarylation of different alkenes by using the inner single electron transfer mechanism of an excited trinuclear gold catalyst.
