HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Cristina Tubaro and colleagues from the via Marzolo, Italy have published the paper: Alkyne hydroarylation with Au N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: We have demonstrated that gold complexes with N-heterocyclic carbenes are active catalysts for alkyne hydroarylations under acidic conditions.
- how: Both mono- and dinuclear gold(III) complexes were able to catalyze the reaction however the best results were obtained with the mononuclear gold(I) complex IPrAuCl. This result was expected as in early examples of the use of gold catalysts for intermolecular alkyne hydroarylations the reaction . . .
