• Markovnikov at Gold: Nucleophilic Addition to Alkenes at Au(III) 

      Holmsen, Marte Sofie; Ihlefeldt, Franziska; Øien-Ødegaard, Sigurd; Langseth, Eirin; Wencke, Yannick; Heyn, Richard H.; Tilset, Mats (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      The reactivity of Au(OAcF)2(tpy) (1, OAcF = OCOCF3; tpy = 2-(p-tolyl)pyridine) toward a wide variety of different alkenes with various substitution patterns and different oxygen-based nucleophiles has been investigated. ...
    • trans-Mutation at Gold(III): A mechanistic study of a catalytic acetylene functionalization via a double insertion pathway 

      Holmsen, Marte Sofie; Nova, Ainara; Balcells, David; Langseth, Eirin; Øien-Ødegaard, Sigurd; Heyn, Richard H.; Tilset, Mats; Laurenczy, Gábor (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      The Au(III) complex Au(tpy)(OAcF)2 (OAcF = OCOCF3; tpy = 2-(p-tolyl)pyridine) catalyzes the anti addition of trifluoroacetic acid (HOAcF) to acetylene to furnish vinyl trifluoroacetate. The Au(III) vinyl complex ...
