Nucleophilic reactivity of the gold atom in a diarylborylgold(i) complex toward polar multiple bonds
Keyword(s):
A di(o-tolyl)borylgold complex added to CO/N double bond to form Au–C and B–O/N bonds. DFT calculations revealed a two-step mechanism consisting of the coordination of O/N atom to B atom followed by nucleophilic migration of Au atom.
