Gold(I)-Catalyzed Amination of Allylic Alcohols with Cyclic Ureas and Related Nucleophiles
Abstract
A 1:1 mixture of [P(t-Bu)(2)-o-biphenyl]AuCl and AgSbF6 catalyzes the Intermolecular
amination of allylic alcohols with 1-methylimidazolidin-2-one and related nucleophiles
that, in the case of gamma-unsubstituted or gamma-methyl-substituted allylic alcohols,
occurs with high gamma-regloselectivity and syn-stereoselectivity.

Research in the Widenhoefer group is directed toward the development and mechanistic
analysis of new organotransition metal-catalyzed transformations for application in
the synthesis of functionalized organic molecules. In particular, our group has a
long-standing interest in the functionalization of C–C multiple bonds with carbon
and heteroatom nucleophiles catalyzed by electrophilic late transition metal complexes,
with a recent focus on the synthetic and mechanistic aspect of gold(I) pi-acti
