Silver-free Gold(I) Catalysts for Organic Transformations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The majority of gold(I) catalysts employed in organic transformations in homogeneous systems are presently generated in situ by reactions of gold halides AuX or their 1 : 1 complexes [(L)AuX] with silver salts AgY (X = Cl, Br; L = R3P, NHC, tht etc.; Y = BF4, PF6, SbF6, OSO2CF3, OC(O)CF3 etc.). This usage of silver salts is not only economically unfavorable, but also has several practical disadvantages regarding inter alia the thermal and photochemical stability of the reaction mixtures, problems of inexact stoichiometries, difficulties in separation and recycling, and cooperative effects due to Au-Ag metallophilic interactions which can induce a different course of the reactions. There is therefore a move towards syntheses of silver-free homogeneous gold(I) catalysts. The past and current approaches and opportunities are summarized in this review.

متن کاملOn the Silver Effect and the Formation of Chloride-Bridged Digold Complexes
Abstraction of chloride anion from Au(I) complexes such as JohnPhosAuCl in noncoordinating solvents with 1 equiv of a silver salt, or even larger amounts, leads to the formation of chloride-bridged dinuclear gold(I) complexes, irrespective of the counteranion, which are substantially less reactive as catalysts. This incomplete removal of chloride ligand could lead to false negative results when...
متن کاملAcid, silver, and solvent-free gold-catalyzed hydrophenoxylation of internal alkynes
A range of arylgold compounds have been synthesized and investigated as single-component catalysts for the hydrophenoxylation of unactivated internal alkynes. Both carbene and phosphine-ligated compounds were screened as part of this work, and the most efficient catalysts contained either JohnPhos or IPr/SIPr. Phenols bearing either electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups were efficien...

Stable bis-cyclometallated gold(III) complexes were developed as efficient catalysts for organic transformation reactions by using two strategies: (1) construction of distorted square planar gold(III) complexes and (2) dual catalysis by gold(III) complexes and silver salts.
