We report a catalytic skeletal rearrangement of biphenylenes with a pendant alkyne moiety at room temperature by a cationic gold catalyst, which involves the cleavage of two bonds: the C-C...
We designed and synthesized a new series of NHCs with a sulfoxide moiety as a hemilabile ligand. We investigated the catalytic activities of Au(I)-NHC complexes in the strong oxidant-free cross-coupling of iodoarenes with 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene. We ascertained that the sulfoxide moiety is critical for the Au(I)/(III) catalytic cycle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
