Here, an unprecedented ligand and counteranion-controlled and site-selectivity switchable direct C-H bond functionalization of unprotected naphthols with α-aryl-α-diazoesters was developed. In this transformation, site selectivities are realized by turning on/off the coordination between metal complexes and hydroxy groups. The preliminary mechanism revealed that the interaction between the hydroxy group and gold catalyst plays a key role in switching the site-selectivity of gold-carbene. This pr ...[more]
