Abstract:
Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of novel (P^N) aryl Au(III)-azide complexes. The reductive elimination from these Au(III) complexes to forge C(sp2)-N3 bonds has also been demonstrated. Considering the feasibility of C(sp2)-N3 reductive elimination in Au(III)-azide complexes, the gold-catalyzed C(sp2)-N3 cross-coupling reaction has been achieved. Furthermore, it is shown that the Au(III)-azide complexes undergo facile azide exchange with cyano and alkyne nucleophiles, facilitating C(sp2)-C(sp) cross-coupling.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
