Reactions of Gold(III) Oxo Complexes with Cyclic Alkenes

摘要

As pointed out in a recent review,metal-mediated olefin oxidation is still a subject of great interest.Various classes of mechanisms have been envisaged for different metal systems.Among these,that involving metallaoxetanes (1-metalla-2-oxacyclobutanes) as a key intermediate in the oxygen-transfer reaction has been recently corroborated by experimental evidence.
