A straightforward approach to robust thiazolylidene gold complexes: efficient catalysts for propargylamide cycloisomerizations

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The straightforward synthesis of new thiazolylidene gold complexes is described. Despite their decreased steric protection, these complexes demonstrate excellent stability and high catalytic activity in the HFIP-assisted cycloisomerization of propargylamides. The synthesis and catalytic activity of a novel, stable thiazolylidene gold alkoxide complex is also reported.
