Abstract

New gold (I) complexes with bulky fluorinated N-heterocyclic carbene ligands were synthesized and fully characterized. Their catalytic activity was tested in model reactions such as intramolecular hydroamination of 2-(phenylethynyl)aniline, alkyne hydration and hydrohydrazination of henylacetylene. In all studied cases new complexes demonstrated from good to excellent catalytic activities under standard conditions.
