[(N, N’, N”-Tricyclohexyl)-N”- cyclohexylcarbamoylguanidinium] Tetrachloroaurate(III) as a Product of the Reaction of Dicyclohexylcarbo- diimide with HAuCl4 . aq

Abstract

Reaction of tetrachloroauric(III) acid hydrate with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (dcc) in dichloromethane in the presence of equimolar amounts of triethylamine leads to a complex reaction mixture. One of the components was shown by X-ray crystallography to be [(N, N’, N”-tricyclohexyl)- N”-cyclohexylcarbamoylguanidinium] tetrachloroaurate( III) (1) which contains as a cation the addition product of dcc with the corresponding urea.
