Efficient Cycloisomerization of Propargyl Amides by Electrophilic Gold(I) Complexes of KITPHOS Monophosphines: A Comparative Study

Electrophilic gold(I) complexes of diphenyl- and dicyclohexylphosphino-based KITPHOS monophosphines catalyze the 5-exo-dig cycloisomerization of a range of propargyl amides to afford the corresponding alkylidene oxazolines; in all cases catalysts formed from diphenylphosphino-substituted KITPHOS mon...

Summary:Electrophilic gold(I) complexes of diphenyl- and dicyclohexylphosphino-based KITPHOS monophosphines catalyze the 5-exo-dig cycloisomerization of a range of propargyl amides to afford the corresponding alkylidene oxazolines; in all cases catalysts formed from diphenylphosphino-substituted KITPHOS monophosphines outperformed their dicyclohexylphosphino counterparts as well as that based on triphenylphosphine, an indication that the biaryl/biaryl-like framework may be responsible for imparting high catalyst efficiency.
