Oxidant speciation and anionic ligand effects in the gold-catalyzed oxidative coupling of arenes and alkynes

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: -Csp cross-coupling products through an irreversible reductive elimination step. Finally, the nature of competitive processes and catalyst deactivation pathways has also been unraveled. This detailed investigation provides insights not only on the specific features of the species involved in oxidative gold-catalyzed cross couplings but also highlights the importance of both ancillary and anionic ligands in the reactivity of the key Au(iii) intermediates.
