Abstract

The combination of the carbophilic Lewis acidity of Au with the redox properties of Pd enabled the preparation of a variety of substituted butenolides in a simple and efficient way. The Au-Pd bimetallic catalytic system is based on the generation of competent Au and Pd species by anionic ligand exchange.
