Phosphine Gold(I)-Catalyzed Hydroamination of Alkenes under Thermal and Microwave-Assisted Conditions

Abstract

[reaction: see text] Phosphine gold(I) complexes catalyzed isomerization of terminal alkenes and hydroamination of unactivated alkenes under thermal and microwave-assisted conditions. This is the first example of the use of microwave radiation as a heat source for gold(I)-catalyzed organic reactions.
