Abstract
While investigating the gold(i)-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of allenes, the structure of a digoldvinyl intermediate was verified. Instead of the previously proposed geminally diaurated binding mode for the digold when L = PPh3, an alternative σ-π-diauration mode was observed with the bulkier ligand L = P(o-Tol)3. Reactivity studies indicate the σ-π-mode has a disproportionate effect on protonolysis reactivity.Entities:
