Abstract

AbstractThe first heterogeneous gold(I)‐catalyzed direct C(sp2)–C(sp) bond functionalization of arylalkynes through a nitrogenation process to amides has been achieved by using an ordered mesoporous silica (MCM‐41)‐immobilized phosphine gold(I) complex [MCM‐41‐PPh3‐AuCl] as catalyst and silver carbonate (Ag2CO3) as cocatalyst with trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) as a nitrogen source, yielding a variety of amides in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions. This heterogeneous phosphine gold(I) complex shows the same turnover numbers as the homogeneous chloro(triphenylphosphine)gold(I) (Ph3PAuCl) and can easily be recovered by simple filtration of the reaction solution and recycled at least eight times without significant loss of activity, providing a novel, efficient, practical and economic method for the synthesis of amides from alkynes.magnified image
