RT Journal Article T1 Evidencing an inner-sphere mechanism for NHC-Au(I)- catalyzed carbene-transfer reactions from ethyl diazoacetate A1 Romero Fructos-Vázquez, Manuel A1 Urbano Baena, Juan A1 Díaz Requejo, María Mar A1 Pérez Romero, Pedro José AB Kinetic experiments based on the measurement of nitrogen evolution in the reaction of ethyl diazoacetate (N2CHCO2Et, EDA) andstyrene or methanol catalyzed by the [IPrAu]+ core (IPr = 1,3-bis(diisopropylphenyl)imidazole-2-ylidene) have provided evidencethat the transfer of the carbene group CHCO2Et to the substrate (styrene or methanol) takes place in the coordination sphere ofAu(I) by means of an inner-sphere mechanism, in contrast to the generally accepted proposal of outer-sphere mechanisms forAu(I)-catalyzed reactions.
