Abstract

AbstractPyridine‐substituted alkylidenecyclopropanes (Py‐ACPs) react with gold(III) salts under mild reaction conditions through an unprecedented, proximal ring‐opening pathway, to generate highly appealing, catalytically active pyridine alkenyl [C^N]‐gold(III) species. Mechanistic studies reveal that the activation of the C−C bond of the ACP takes place through an unusual concerted, σ‐bond metathesis type‐process.
