Redox-responsive phosphonite gold complexes in hydroamination catalysis

Abstract

Very high activities were observed in the redox-induced hydroamination of alkynes by employing a redox-active gold(I) complex featuring an electron-deficient, terphenyl-substituted phosphonite-based ligand. The hydroamination proceeds roughly two-fold faster with the in situ oxidized catalysts than with their reduced form.
