Rational development of catalytic Au(I)/Au(III) arylation involving mild oxidative addition of aryl halides
Catalysis involving Au(I)/Au(III) cycles are notoriously hampered by the reluctance of Au(I) towards oxidative addition. Here, the authors show that an hemilabile bidentate ligand promotes oxidative addition of aryl halides to Au(I) and the catalytic formation of biaryl coupling products
