铑(I)催化剂促进邻炔基苯酚和苯胺转化为相应的苯并[ b ]呋喃和吲哚。假定该反应通过过渡的3-铑杂环中间体进行,该中间体可以用合适的亲电试剂捕获以得到多取代的杂环。在单取代的吸电子亲电体的情况下,与Heck-Mizoroki反应相比,可以获得优异的收率和选择性。在2-炔基吡啶亲电试剂的情况下,形成新的2-(苯并呋喃-3-基)乙烯基吡啶。
Catalytic Silylation: SiO2-supported gold nanoparticle catalysts showed high activity for silylation of C(sp2)−H bond to afford a series of aryl and heteroarylsilanes. Detailed mechanistic investigation revealed that O2-activated Au NPs and ethers cooperatively functioned to generate silyl cation, thereby enabling electrophilic C−Si bond formation.
