Abstract
AbstractAnother class of gold(I) redox‐switchable catalysts, incorporating ferrocenyl phosphane‐imines, enriches the existing library of gold(I) complexes. Our catalyst proves efficacy in gold(I)‐catalyzed cyclizations of furans and benzamides, exhibiting reversible “on‐off” switching. Furthermore, we explored the unconventional role of “Magic Blue”, commonly used as an oxidizing agent in various organic transformations, as a potential activator of the Au−Cl bond, initiating conventional gold(I) catalysis.
