The direct dialkylation of triazolo[4,3-b]isoquinolin-3-ylidene structures readily affords dicationic N-heterotricyclic azolium salts. These are suitable starting materials for the synthesis of transition metal complexes containing N-heterotricyclic, cationic ligands characterized by extended charge delocalization. Silver and gold complexes as...

The formal insertion of alkenes into aromatic chloro- and bromoalkynes takes place under cationic gold catalysis. This haloalkynylation reaction can be performed with cyclic, gem-disubstituted and monosubstituted alkenes, using BINAP, triazolo[4,3-b]isoquinolin-3-ylidene ligands or SPhos, respectively. The products were isolated in moderate to...
