Controlling the Selectivity Patterns of Au-Catalyzed Cyclization-Migration Reactions

Abstract

As little as 2 mol % of (XPhos)AuNTf2 catalyzes the transformation of a broad range of o-acetylene-substituted styrenes into 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes. Our data suggests that this transformation occurs via a gold-stabilized cyclopropyl carbinyl cation, which triggers either a [1,2] carboxylate shift or a less favorable [1,2] aryl shift. The relative rates of these migrations can be controlled by the identity of the ligand or by stabilizing the mesomeric cation.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
