Table 4. Gold(III)-Catalyzed Addition of Nucleophilic Arenes to Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds^a.

^aReactions were carried out using 1 mol % catalyst loading, [arene] = 0.25 M in MeCN, and 1 equivalent of MVK at room temperature, unless otherwise stated.

^bYields are of the isolated pure product and are the average of three runs (this work only).

^cAuCl₃ yields taken from the study of Dyker et al.³²

^dReactions were performed at 60 °C.

^e4 equivalents of MVK are used.

^fYields are determined based on the ¹H NMR analysis and are the average of three experiments.

^g2 equivalents of MVK are used.³²
