Dramatic mechanistic switch in Sn/AuI group exchanges: transmetalation vs. oxidative addition

Abstract

The mechanism of Ph/X exchange in reactions involving SnPhnBu3 and [AuXL] complexes switches dramatically from the usual concerted mechanism involving Ar/X mixed bridges when X = Cl, to an unexpected oxidative addition/reductive elimination pathway via an AuIII intermediate when X = vinyl.
