A combined mechanistic and computational study of the gold(I)-catalyzed formation of substituted indenes

A collaboration between research groups in UK, Spain and Italy led by Steven Nolan reveals the mechanism of the Au (I) catalysed formation of substituted indenes.

Read the conclusions of this mechanistic and computational study in this free to access until mid-January paper that is the inside cover of OBC Issue 1 2011.
