Simple synthesis of [Au(NHC)X] complexes utilizing aqueous ammonia: revisiting the weak base route mechanism

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The role of aqueous ammonia in the preparation of [Au(NHC)Cl] complexes is examined. This weak base is capable of promoting C–H and S–H activations leading to Au-alkynyls and Au-thiolates under mild conditions using technical grade solvents in air.
