Abstract

We describe a simple two-phase flow reactor which allows for the efficient and rapid synthesis of several Au(I)-NHC complexes under mild conditions, with minimal workup, and avoiding common problems with decomposition to Au(0). An optional second stage allows for direct synthesis of Au(III)-NHC complexes, without isolation of the Au(I)-NHC intermediate.
