Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate chelating-group-assisted C(sp2)–O reductive elimination at gold(III) centers. Detailed stoichiometric studies highlighted the importance of a chelating group for achieving successful C–O reductive elimination, paving the way for the development of a catalytic version. The mechanistic investigations, including control experiments, 31P NMR, mass spectrometry, and density functional theory (DFT) studies, suggested that the synergistic effect of the ligand and chelating group creates a highly coordinated environment around the Au(III) center to facilitate the C(sp2)–O bond-forming reaction.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
