The gold(I)- and silver(I)-catalyzed nicholas reaction

The Au(I) and Ag(I) catalytic Nicholas type reaction has been developed for oxygen and carbon nucleophiles. This process occurs with high reaction yields and selectivity, avoiding the main shortcomings of the acid-promoted standard Nicholas reaction. A catalytic reaction pathway involving trimetallic complex intermediates is proposed.Peer Reviewe
