Abstract

Several new phenolate complexes were prepared by reacting [Au(IPr)(OH)] (IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-di-isopropylphenyl) imidazol-2-ylidene) with phenols in solution. These complexes were also prepared by a new method. The precursor to the gold hydroxide [Au(IPr)Cl] was simply ground with KOH and the organic substrates. [Au(IPr)(R)] complexes that required heating in solution for extended periods of time were prepared using the grinding method in only minutes.
