Application

Chloro(dimethylsulfide)gold(I) can be used to synthesize a gold(I)-catalyst that can effectively catalyze intermolecular [2+2] cycloaddition of terminal alkynes with substituted alkenes to form substituted cyclobutenes under mild reaction conditions.
It can also be used to synthesize:
  • chloro(trimesitylphosphine)gold(I)
  • gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes
  • bis(carbene)gold(I) complex of ferrocenyl complexes
  • gold(I) acetylide complexes
