A dichloromethane solution (15 cm3) of Tl(acac)
(0.038 g, 0.124 mmol) was added to a suspension of 3

of H[AuCl4]·4H2O (0.100 g, 0.243 mmol) in the same
solvent (20 cm3). After the resulting yellow solution was
stirred at room temperature (r.t.) for 1 day, it was

2.2.5. [AuCl2(phtzꢀC1)(PPh3)] (5)
A solution of PPh3 (0.031 g, 0.118 mmol) in
dichloromethane (15 cm3) was added to a suspension of
3 (0.050 g, 0.117 mmol) in acetone (10 cm3). The
resulting suspension was stirred for 11 h. Then the
suspension was filtered off and the filter cake was
washed with acetone to give pale yellowish white solids
of 5 (0.068 g, 84%), m.p. 131°C. Anal. Found: C, 46.97;

2.2.2. [AuCl3(HphtzꢀN)] (2)
Method (a). An acetonitrile solution (5 cm3) of 2-
phenylthiazole (0.432 g, 2.68 mmol) was added to an
aqueous solution (7.5 cm3) of Na[AuCl4]·4H2O (0.504
g, 1.16 mmol) at r.t. After 10 min, the precipitated
solids were filtered off and recrystallized from CH2Cl2–
diethyl ether to give an orange powder of complex 2
(0.453 g, 84%), m.p. 157°C. Anal. Found: C, 23.43; H,

Method (b). An acetonitrile solution (6 cm3) of 2-
phenylthiazole (0.219 g, 1.36 mmol) was added to an
aqueous solution (17%, 30 cm3) of AuCl3·4H2O (0.505
g, 1.35 mmol) at r.t. After stirring for 16 h, the precip-
itates were filtered off and recrystallized from
dichloromethane and diethyl ether to give 2 (0.537 g,
86%).
Method (c). An aqueous acetonitrile suspension
(17%, 30 cm3) of the salt 1 (0.050 g, 0.099 mmol) was
stirred at r.t. for 16 h. The suspension was filtered off,

cm3) of PPh3 (0.063 g, 0.241 mmol) and then NaBF4
(0.064 g, 0.586 mmol) were added. The resulting sus-
pension was heated at 60°C for 1 day, and then evapo-
