Bidentate (P^N) Au(<scp>iii</scp>)–azide complexes: synthesis and reductive elimination studies
Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of novel (P^N) aryl Au(III)-azide complexes. The reductive elimination from these Au(III) complexes to forge C(sp<sup>2</sup>)-N<sub>3</sub> bonds has also been demonstrated. Considering the feasibility of C(sp<sup>2</sup>)-N<sub>3</sub> reductive elimination in Au(III)-azide complexes, the gold-catalyzed C(sp<sup>2</sup>)-N<sub>3</sub> cross-coupling reaction has been achieved. Furthermore, it is shown that the Au(III)-azide complexes undergo facile azide exchange with cyano and alkyne nucleophiles, facilitating C(sp<sup>2</sup>)-C(sp) cross-coupling.
