Abstract
An oxidative strategy is reported to access α-oxo BMIDA gold carbenes directly from BMIDA-terminated alkynes. Besides offering expedient access to seldom studied boryl metal carbenes, these BMIDA gold carbene species undergo facile insertions into methyl, methylene, methine, and benzylic C-H bonds in the absence of the Thorpe-Ingold effect. They also undergo efficient OH insertion, cyclopropanation, and F-C alkylations. This chemistry provides rapid access to structurally diverse α-BMIDA ketones, which are scarcely documented. In combination with DFT studies, the role of BMIDA is established to be an electron-donating group that attenuates the high electrophilicity of the gold carbene center.

Abstract
The electrophilic fluorination of geminal alkyl substituted vinyl-Bmida derivatives proceeds via bora-Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement. According to DFT modelling studies this rearrangement occurs with a low activation barrier via a bora-cyclopropane shaped TS. The Bmida group has a larger migration aptitude than the alkyl moiety in the Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement of the presented electrophilic fluorination reactions.
