Abstract
Dinuclear gold complexes significantly accelerate intramolecular hydroamination of N-alkenyl ureas via proximal and bimetallic activation of alkene and urea. Tropos BIPHEP-gold complexes having Au-Au interaction affords higher enantioselectivity than the BINAP-gold counterparts without Au-Au interaction.
