Steric and electronic effects of the tertiary phosphine ligand on the dissociative reductive elimination from cis-aryldimethyl(triarylphosphine)gold(III)

A series of cis-aryldimethyl(triarylphosphine)gold(III) complexes, cis-Au(C6H4Y)Me2(P(C6H 4X)3) (X = p-OMe, p-Me, H, p-F, o-Me; Y = p-OMe, p-Me, H, p-F, o-OMe, o-Me) and AuPhMe2(P(C6H4-O-Me)nPh 3-n) (n = 0-2), has been prepared by the alkylation of cis-AuMe2IL by the corresponding Grignard reagents. Electron withdrawal from and the steric bulk of the triarylphosphine ligand as well as electron donation by the aryl ligand enhances phosphine dissociation, leading to a facile and selective reductive elimination of aryl Me.
