35. We also screened the effects of other solvents on this reaction. Under the same reaction condition, the reaction conducted in THF produced 2 in poor yield (25%), whereas the reaction failed to proceed in MeCN. Although 2 was obtained in 40% yield in DCE, the conversion was relative low compared with that in dioxane; even lower conversion (<5%) was observed in toluene.
36. 2 was prepared according to the literature procedure: Byington, A. R.; Bull, W. E. Inorg. Chim. Acta 1977, 21, 239-244.
37. Toste and co-workers have studied the mechanism of Au(I)-catalyzed Conia-ene reaction and proved the pathway which involves the formation of enyne-Au complex, followed by the nucleophilic attack of the enol on the alkyne to give cyclic intermediate, and finally 2 after protonation. See ref 5.
