Abstract

The occurrence of direct transmetalation between gold (III) and boron species during gold- catalyzed cross-coupling reactions has recently become the subject of intense discussion. In this work, we investigate the transmetalation reaction between discrete, stable gold (III) complexes and boron reagents. Interestingly, electron-rich arylboronic acids remain unreactive under neutral conditions, whereas electron-deficient species undergo ...
