title: Efficient generation and increased reactivity in cationic gold via Brønsted acid or Lewis acid assisted activation of an imidogold precatalyst.
abstract: Brønsted or Lewis acid assisted activation of an imidogold precatalyst (L-Au-Pht, Pht = phthalimide) offers a superior way to generate cationic gold compared with the commonly used silver-based system. It is also broadly applicable for most common gold-catalyzed reactions. For reactions that require milder conditions, milder acids can be used for optimized efficiency.
