Gold-catalyzed bis(stannylation) of propiolates†
Abstract
The first example of gold-catalyzed addition of Sn–Sn bonds to alkynes is reported. A cationic gold(I) complex bearing a phosphite ligand is reported to efficiently catalyze the bis(stannylation) of propiolates with hexabutylditin under mild conditions.
