Cross‐coupling is a powerful tool for the rapid construction of highly valuable compounds. In this area of chemical transformations, new catalysts have recently emerged. Combining both a π‐Lewis acid character and interesting redox properties, gold has proven to be an expedient choice for mediating such transformations. Recent developments in the use of gold to mediate a variety of CC coupling reactions are summarized, including Suzuki and Sonogashira cross‐coupling reactions, as well as the development of tandem processes and the combination of gold with palladium to enable CC bond formation via transmetalation.
