Gold is active in various hydrogenation reactions and often shows exceptional high chemoselectivity when multiple functional groups are present. All hydrogenation reactions have in common, that the hydrogen molecules have to adsorb and dissociate before they react. Recent insights in the interaction of gold with hydrogen and simple reactions involving hydrogen are described.
