Abstract

Abstract Comparative studies about the hydroamination of unactivated alkenes and dienes catalyzed by either cationic gold (I) triphenyl phosphite complexes or silver salts were performed using sulfonamides, anilines and carbamates as nucleophiles. Gold-catalyzed reactions generally, need lower loadings than those carried out with silver salts. Simple alkenes react only with sulfonamides and weak aromatic amines such as p-nitroaniline, ...
