Intramolecular Addition of Toluenesulfonamide to Unactivated Alkenes Catalyzed by Gold Nanoclusters under Aerobic Conditions
Gold nanoclusters stabilized by a hydrophilic polymer, poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (Au:PVP), catalyzed the intramolecular addition of toluenesulfonamide to unactivated alkenes in EtOH under aerobic conditions.
