On the Validity of Au-vinylidenes in the Gold-Catalyzed 1,2-Migratory Cycloisomerization of Skipped Propargylpyridines

Abstract: A mechanism of the Au-catalyzed cycloisomerization of propargylpyridines has been investigated. Both DFT computational and experimental results strongly support generation of a Au-carbene via a cyclization/proton transfer sequence over the previously proposed path involving a Au-vinylidene intermediate. For the β-Si-substituted Au-carbene (G = SiR3), a 1,2-Si migration was shown to be kinetically favored over a 1,2-H shift. This study highlights importance of alternative pathways that could explain reactivitie… Show more

“…In this case, a demanding electrophilic substitution must occur and should produce very efficiently the 3-aurated-4-iodo-2 H -chromene C and one equivalent of acid. Next, gold-assisted protonation at C-4 should afford D [57], an intermediate featuring a gold-carbene at C-3, that would require a subsequent and selective 1,2-iodine shift to furnish compounds 2 and regenerate the catalyst.…”

“…A 1,2‐shift of the migrating group then furnished the desired indolizines 126 . Interestingly, use of an Ag catalyst instead of AuBr 3 also generated pyrrole‐fused heterocycles but without migration of G 9194. The Liu group used a similar approach 95…”

“…Initially, a mechanism involving the isomerization of the alkyne to a gold-vinylidene was proposed. However, deuterium labeling experiments in combination with DFT calculations strongly suggest a reaction pathway in which a 1,2 migration of the G group takes place on a carbene intermediate 109 as shown in Scheme 47 96 .…”
