Abstract:
The gold complex [Tf2NAuPPh3CH2NH2] was synthesized and covalently anchored on modified carbon nanotubes in order to obtain a supported gold homogeneous catalyst. Simple 1,6 enynes were chosen as benchmark substrates to assess its behaviour in cyclization catalysis as well as study its recycling.
