Gold-Catalyzed Addition of β-Ketoesters to Alkenes: Influence of Electronic and Steric Effects in the Reaction Outcome

The gold-catalyzed intermolecular hydroalkylation of olefins with β-ketoesters represents a conceptually attractive and useful synthetic tool; however, it has been scarcely applied, remaining a challenge for chemists. The aim of the current study was to investigate the addition of these 1,3-diketo-c...
