Both the Au and the carbene ligand are essential for the reaction to occur, as removal of either gives no desired carboxylation product. Finally, the fact that the reaction proceeds at ambient ...

The unique reactivity of gold complexes as tunable p-Lewis acids have driven diverse applications towards C–C multiple bond functionalizations, enyne and diyne cycloisomerizations, carbene/nitrene ...

In this work, the authors report that the reaction of an N-heterocyclic carbene ligated copper alkoxide with a dimeric magnesium(I) compound results in a stable compound with a Cu-Mg bond which ...
