All reactions were carried out under argon atmosphere in oven-dried glassware with magnetic stirring. Commercially available chemicals were used without further purification. Solvents were distilled prior to use by Solvent Purification System, Mbraun MB-SPS-800.Analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on silica gel 60 with fluorescent indicator UV254 TLC plates. The spots were visualized with UV light (254 nm) and staining with a solution of p-anisaldehyde, followed by heat. Flash column chromatography was performed using silica gel 60 (particle size 0.040-0.063 mm) typically using a n-hexane/ethyl acetate eluent system. FT-IR spectra were recorded with Thermo Scientific TM Nicolet TM iS TM 50 FT-IR spectrometer. NMR spectra were measured at room temperature on a Agilent Mercury 400 MHz spectrometer. NMR spectra were calibrated to the solvent residual signals of CDCl3. 1 H NMR spectra were recorded at 400 MHz. Data are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s: singlet, d: doublet, t: triplet, q: quartet, qui: quintuplet, m: multiplet), coupling constant (J in Hz) and integration. 13 C NMR spectra were recorded at 100 MHz using broadband proton decoupling and chemicals shifts are reported in ppm using residual solvent peaks as reference. Carbon multiplicities were assigned by DEPT techniques.High resolution mass spectra were recorded on a MS (ESI) spectra LCMS-IT TOF Shimadzu.Melting points were measured using open capillary tubes on a MPM-HV2 analyzer.
2.The hydroamination reaction
General procedure for the synthesis of gold(I) complexes 1A mixture of silver(I) oxide (1 eq) and corresponding imidazolium or imidazolinium salt (1.6 eq) in dichloromethane (0.05 mol/L) was stirred overnight in dark. The mixture was filtered through Celite and evaporated under reduce pressure. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (0.09 mol/L) and (dimethyl sulfide)gold(I) complex (1 eq) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred overnight and filtered through Celite, the solvent was removed in vacuo. The obtained Au(NHC)Cl complex was crystallized form pentane.
General procedure for the synthesis of 2-alkynylanilines 2Under argon gas, a mixture of 2-iodoaniline (1 eq), alkyne (1.1-1.3 eq), CuI (3 mol%), PdCl2(PPh3)2 and Et3N ([substrate] = 0.45 mol/L) as solvent was stirred for 2h at 50 . The ℃ reaction mixture was next diluted in water and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and the solvent was evaporated under reduce pressure. The crude product
