65. Ongoing theoretical (DFT) investigations support this type of a nucleophilic reductive elimination pathway. Relaxed coordinate scans suggest a concerted reductive elimination process, in which the B-F bond is formed prior to the C-C bond, thus effectively achieving regeneration of the catalyst and product demetalation. In contrast, we could not find a pathway for transmetalation, in which the phenyl group is transferred onto the gold center, thereby leading to the formation of alkylphenylgold(III) intermediate 32.
