Ligand Effects in the Gold Catalyzed Hydration of Alkynes

In the gold(I) (e. g. L-Au-OTf) catalyzed hydration of alkynes, the steric hindrance of ligands has a significant influence on the kinetics of the reaction, whereas their electronic effects are less influential. Very low loadings (ppm levels) of a gold catalyst containing a highly sterically hindered phosphine ligand (e. g. L4-Au-OTf) (L4=Me3(OMe)tBuXPhos) is able to catalyze the hydration of a wide range of alkyne substrates in good yields, at relatively low temperature.
