A Remarkably Simple Hybrid Surfactant-NHC Ligand, Its Gold-Complex, and Application in Micellar Catalysis.
A combination of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand and a structurally simple surfactant has been realized, the hybrid surfactant-NHC. The related gold complex was synthesized, fully characterized, and applied in catalysis. This remarkably simple strategy allows, in combination with a co-surfactant, the application of gold catalysis in water.
