Reactions of Gold(<scp>III</scp>) Oxo Complexes with Cyclic Alkenes

Abstract

An auraoxetane, obtained from the reaction of norbornene with a gold(III) oxo complex, has been isolated and fully characterized (see structure). Action of the olefin leads to elimination of the epoxide from the auraoxetane.
