Hydrophenoxylation of Alkynes by Cooperative Gold Catalysis

摘要

Over the past decade, the concept of cooperative or dual catalysis has emerged as an attractive and effective strategy to access unique reactivity and selectivity in synthetic organic chemistry. This type of catalysis has been shown in dual organo-catalyzed, organo- and transition-metal-catalyzed, homobimetallic transition-metal-catalyzed and heterobime-tallic catalyzed processes. Recently, it has also received increased attention in gold chemistry owing to the synthesis and isolation of dinuclear organogold species, such as gem-diaurated or σ,π-diaurated acetylide complexes.
