Gold-Catalyzed Intramolecular Aminoarylation of Alkenes: C-C Bond Formation through Bimolecular Reductive Elimination

摘要

The utility of homogeneous gold complexes as carbophilic π-acids has been well-established, with numerous reports of gold-catalyzed reactions that were initiated by addition of nucleophiles into unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds. Although protodeauration is common, several reactions have been developed in which the resulting organogold intermediate was intercepted. For example, nucleophilic reagents have been employed to intercept cationic organogold intermediates that were derived from reactions with π bonds.
