Expanded‐Ring N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes Efficiently Stabilize Gold(I) Cations, Leading to High Activity in π‐Acid‐Catalyzed Cyclizations

Abstract: A series of six- and seven-membered expanded-ring N-heterocyclic carbene (er-NHC) gold(I) complexes has been synthesized using different synthetic approaches. Complexes with weakly coordinating anions [(er-NHC)AuX] (X(-) = BF4(-), NTf2(-), OTf(-)) were generated in solution. According to their (13)C NMR spectra, the ionic character of the complexes increases in the order X(-) = Cl(-) < NTf2(-) < OTf(-) < BF4(-). Additional factors for stabilization of the cationic complexes are expansion of the NHC ring and th… Show more

“…Next, the nature of the catalyst was studied. As we have previously shown, the nature of counteranion plays a significant role in catalysis by gold–carbene complexes. This was also observed for the reaction of phenylhydrazine with the CF 3 ‐ynone.…”

“…In a continuation of our investigation into (THD‐Dipp)AuOTf chemistry,[9f], we envisioned that (THD‐Dipp)AuOTf could be used to carry out the regioselective transformation of CF 3 ‐ynones into CF 3 ‐pyrazoles through reaction with hydrazines.…”

“…(2) A strong counteranion effect was observed. As anticipated from our mechanistic postulate, 13 complexes of type [Au(IPr)]X, where X = Cl -, TsOand NTf 2 were at best moderately effective in promoting the reaction. [Au(IPr)]BF 4 proved to be much more effective to activate the triple bond towards nucleophilic attack of the nitrogen group (Table 1, entry 12 vs. 5, 8-11, 13).…”
