Abstract

(Chemical equation presented) Gold-ilocks and the 3 mol% catalyst: Bimetallic gold bromides allow the room temperature aminoarylation of unactivated terminal olefins with aryl boronic acids using Selectfluor as an oxidant. A catalytic cycle involving gold (I)/gold(III) and a bimolecular reductive elimination for the key C-C bond-forming step is proposed, dppm= bis(diphenylphosphanyl) methane.
