Gold (I) hydroxide complexes of the form Z-Au-OH and digold complexes of the form Z—Au-(μOH)—Au—Z where groups Z are two electron donors are provided. The groups Z may be carbenes, for example nitrogen containing heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), phosphines or phosphites. The complexes can be used as catalysts, for example in reactions such as hydration of nitriles, skeletal arrangement of enynes, alkoxycyclisation of enynes, alkyne hydration, the Meyer-Shuster reaction, 3,3′ rearrangement of allylic acetates, cyclisation of propargylic acetates, Beckman rearrangements and hydroamination. The complexes can be used in medicine, for example in the treatment of cancer.
提供了形式为Z-Au-OH的Gold(I)羟基配合物和形式为Z—Au-(μOH)—Au—Z的二
金配合物,其中Z基团是两个电子供体。Z基团可以是卡宾,例如含氮杂环卡宾(NHCs),膦或
膦酸酯。这些配合物可以用作催化剂,例如在亚
硝基化合物的
水合反应、烯炔的骨架排列、烯炔的烷氧基环化、炔的
水合、Meyer-Shuster反应、烯丙
醋酸酯的3,3′重排、
丙炔基
乙酸酯的环化、贝克曼重排和氢
氨基化等反应中。这些配合物也可以用于医学领域,例如用于癌症治疗。
