reaction of 4-substituted imidazol-2-ylidenes with various electrophiles
produces a series of 2,4-functionalized imidazolium salts. Subsequent
metalation of these precursors using AuCl(SMe2) provides
the first examples of highly functionalized abnormal carbenegold(I)
complexes. The present protocol introduces a new strategy for the
synthesis of metallic abnormal carbenes featuring diverse functional
groups
