Bis-cyclometallated gold(iii) complexes as efficient catalysts for synthesis of propargylamines and alkylated indoles

Abstract

Stable bis-cyclometallated gold(III) complexes were developed as efficient catalysts for organic transformation reactions by using two strategies: (1) construction of distorted square planar gold(III) complexes and (2) dual catalysis by gold(III) complexes and silver salts.
