Abstract A combination of gold chloride organometallic complex and a silver salt was used to catalyze intermolecular hydroamination of activated alkenes, ie aza-Michael reactions. The gold-catalyzed reactions of activated alkenes with nitrogen substrates were investigated and found to afford various mono-and dihydroamination products, the latter being rare and original. After flash chromatography, gold NHC catalyst could be recovered as a gold ...
