This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

The synthesis and structural characterization of an electron poor Au(III) trication bearing 2 imidazole and 2 acetonitrile ligands is described. The new complex is capable of aryl C-H metalation with the formation of a monomesitylene species and also demonstrated to be highly oxidizing in facilitating the rapid room temperature conversion of cyclohexene to benzene.
