چکیده
The complexes IPrMCl (IPr = 1,3-bis(diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene, M = Cu, 1a; M = Au, 1b), in the presence of one equiv of NaBAr'(4) (Ar' = 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl), catalyze the transfer of carbene groups: C(R)CO(2)Et (R = H, Me) from N(2)C(R)CO(2)Et to afford products that depend on the nature of the metal center. The copper-based catalyst yields exclusively a cycloheptatriene derivative from the Buchner reaction, whereas the gold analog affords a mixture of products derived either from the formal insertion of the carbene unit into the aromatic C-H bond or from its addition to a double bond. In addition, no byproducts derived from carbene coupling were observed.

Efficient functionalization of aromatic C-H bonds catalyzed by gold(III) under mild and solvent-free conditions.
A gold(III)-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formation reaction between arenes and electron-deficient alkynes or alkenes is described. Electron-rich arenes can be efficiently functionalized with the alkyne or alkene substrates. This reaction can be run with neat reactants at ambient temperature. Under the "solventless" conditions, clean product was obtained from a reaction of equal molar amounts of...
متن کاملSelectivity, Compatibility, Downstream Functionalization, and Silver Effect in the Gold and Palladium Dual-Catalytic Synthesis of Lactones
The chemo- and regioselectivity and functional group compatibility in gold and palladium cooperatively catalyzed cross-coupling reactions were determined in the synthesis of lactones; the selectivity in the gold and palladium dual-metal catalysis system was distinct from that available for the same class of substrates in systems with only gold catalysis or only palladium catalysis rather than d...
متن کاملMerging synthesis and enantioselective functionalization of indoles by a gold-catalyzed asymmetric cascade reaction.
Significance: The authors developed a gold-catalyzed hydroamination followed by an asymmetric nucleophilic allylic substitution cascade to access oxazino[4,3-a]indoles in good yields and enantioselectivities. Owing to pharmacologically active indole alkaloids, this rapid synthesis and asymmetric decoration of the polycyclic indolyl core is highly important. Comment: Amazingly, the stereodiffere...

The gold(I)-catalyzed hydroarylation of cyclohexa-1,3-dienes bearing an aryl group and a gem-diester in the tether proceeds in a 1,4-addition manner and in a diastereoselective fashion to afford perhydrophenanthrene rings. The reaction proceeded via attack of the aryl group onto the gold-activated cyclic dienes followed by rearomatization and protodeauration to generate perhydrophenanthrenes in...
