Abstract
Gold(III) bromide reacts with NMe2CH2Ph to give [AuBr3(NMe2CH2Ph)], [NMe2(CH2Ph)H][AuBr4] or [NMe2(CH2Ph)H][AuBr2] depending on the reaction conditions, with azobenzene to give [AuBr3(azobenzene)] and with 2-vinylpyridine to give [AuBr3 (2-vinylpyridine)] which with bromine gives [AuBr3 ? 2-(1,2-dibromoethyl)pyridine]. Unsuccessful attempts to rearrange these complexes to the products of auration of the aryl- or vinyl-substituents of the ligands are described. Evidence is presented that the product of reaction of allyl methyl sulphide with gold(III) bromide arises from bromoauration of the allylic group.
