Effective Au(III)-CuCl2-catalyzed addition of alcohols to alkenes.
Alkenes can be activated by Au(III) catalysts, and the effective addition of alcohols to alkenes can be carried out under mild conditions with Au(III), provided that catalytic amounts of CuCl(2) are added, which significantly stabilize the cationic Au(III).
