Abstract

We report here the first gold-catalyzed nitrene transfer reaction. A gold(I) compound, supported by 4,4‘,4‘ ‘-tri-tert-butyl-2,2‘:6‘,2‘ ‘-terpyridine (tBu₃tpy) as the ligand, efficiently catalyzes olefin aziridination with the use of the commercially available oxidant PhI(OAc)₂ and sulfonamides. This system also mediates carbene insertion into benzene.
