摘要

The cyclic α-imino gold carbene intermediate B is most likely generated in situ via regioselective nitrene transfer from an azido group to a tethered terminal alkyne in the presence of a gold catalyst and at ambient temperature. This highly electrophilic intermediate can react with a weakly nucleophilic nitrile, which is used as the reaction solvent, to deliver a bicyclic imidazole rapidly in an overall bimolecular [2+ 2+ 1] ...
