The cyclization of -propargyl benzamide with gold catalysts has become a popular benchmark reaction over the past two decades. The prevailing consensus denotes protodeauration as rate-limiting. Cyclization with [Au(NCCH)]SbF and AuOTs ( = -Bu(-biphenyl)P, also known as Johnphos) in dichloromethane and methanol in conjunction with deuterium labeling studies reveals a solvent-dependent switch to π-activation for the rate-limiting step. Computational calculations support this change of the rate-determining step.
在过去二十年中,使用金催化剂使炔丙基苯甲酰胺环化已成为一个广受欢迎的基准反应。目前普遍的共识是,质子脱金反应是限速步骤。在二氯甲烷和甲醇中使用[Au(NCCH₃)]SbF₆和AuOTs(L = t-Bu(o-biphenyl)P,也称为Johnphos)进行环化反应,并结合氘标记研究表明,限速步骤存在溶剂依赖性的向π-活化的转变。计算计算支持了速率决定步骤的这种变化。
