Abstract Gold-catalyzed functionalization of semicarbazides (ArNHCONHNH2) with various terminal alkynes (RC)-C-2 equivalent to CH (R-2 = Alk or Ar) in the presence of Ph3PAuNTf2 (3 mol-\%) grants a range of substituted semicarbazones (16 examples; 64-93 \%). This novel metal-catalyzed coupling proceeds under mild conditions (PhCl, 60 degrees C) and demonstrates a high functional group tolerance; the reaction is sensitive to the electronic effects of the substituents in terminal alkynes. Inspection of XRD solid-state structures of three obtained semicarbazones proved their dimerization via weak to moderate strength hydrogen bonding. The structures of the semicarbazones in solutions were studied by concentration dependent H-1 NMR and 2D NMR and these experiments proved the presence of H-bonds between two molecules. The nature and energy of H-bonding (3.8-5.1 kcal/mol), degree of electron density delocalization, and rotational barriers via various bonds in the equilibrium model structures were studied by DFT calculations at the M06-2X/6-311++G** level of theory.
