8. Of note, there are as well examples for gold catalysis without silver agents, whereas these complexes were mostly synthesized via a silver substrate.

36. The same reaction in was done in THF in order to obtain the THF analogues complex. Unfortunately, these efforts remained unsuccessful.
37. In contrast to cationic nitrile complexes, the synthesis of [Au(OH)(IPr)] is realized without the use of any silver salts.
38. 4 in toluene lead to identical isolated yields.
39. Washing the organic phase with brine resulted in full conversion into [AuCl(IPr)].

45. We suspect at this stage that 3 could be a reservoir for the catalytically active mononuclear cationic gold species.
46. A rudimentary test proofed 2 active in nitrile hydration. See reference [10].
47. This conversion is poor but the presence of any activity of 1 under neutral condition is worthy of further investigation.
48. Of note, Bayler-Schmidtbaur complexes proofed already active in catalysis. For recent examples, see

53. 4 into 3 occurs under these reaction conditions and result in lower conversions than when using 4 under these "unoptimized" conditions.
54. 2 results in full conversion into catalyst 2.
