- , deuterium labelling, rearrangements on stereodefined substrates, and structural analyses (NMR and X-ray) of the reaction products. RT-NMR-derived data strongly supported a pathway of alkene activation by the iodane, as opposed to the formation of an N-I(III) adduct. The presence of 5-exo-products, with
- . A mechanism for the reaction was proposed by the authors (Scheme 27), whereby a TMS-adduct A of the amide is formed, alkene activation and cyclisation from oxygen forms the cyclised intermediate B, then displacement of PhI by chloride gives the product. Chai, Jiang, Zhu and co-workers reported the

- to regenerate a Pd(II) species as active catalyst. Although seldom unambiguously determined, two alternative pathways, based either on “alkene activation” or “indole activation”, have been proposed to explain the formation of the σ-alkyl complex I. The former involves the coordination of the Pd(II

- -catalyst stability. It is currently accepted by the research community that Au(I) complexes adopt one of two coordination sites with 180° linear geometry (Scheme 1) (although some exceptions exist). The actual catalysts involved in alkyne and alkene activation are of the type [L–Au]+, with the open
