The different roles of a cationic gold(i) complex in catalysing hydroarylation of alkynes and alkenes with a heterocycle

posted on 2023-05-19, 02:24 authored by Mehrabi, T, Alireza AriafardAlireza AriafardThe mechanism of twofold hydroarylation of terminal alkynes with pyrrole catalyzed by a cationic gold(i) complex was investigated using DFT. It was found that while both the hydroarylation reactions proceed via a Friedel-Crafts-type mechanism, the first hydroarylation is directly promoted by gold(i) but the second hydroarylation by a proton released through interaction of the alkene product with gold-bound acidic organic species such as acetic acid and terminal alkynes.
