Abstract
Herein, we report on the photoredox-initiated gold-mediated <span class="Chemical">C(sp2)n>-CF3 and <span class="Chemical">C(sp2)-N coupling reactions. By adopting gold as a platform for probing <span class="Chemical">metallaphotoredox catalysis, we demonstrate that cationic gold(III) complexes are the key intermediates of the C-C and C-N coupling reactions. The high-valent gold(III) intermediates are accessed by virtue of photoredox catalysis through a radical chain process. In addition, the bond-forming step of the coupling reactions is the reductive elimination from cationic gold(III) intermediates, which is supported by isolation and crystallographic characterization of key Au(III) intermediates.Entities:
