We describe a Au<sup>I</sup> complex of a hemi-labile (C^N) N-heterocyclic carbene ligand that is able to mediate oxidative addition of aryl iodides. Detailed computational and experimental investigations have been undertaken to verify and rationalize the oxidative addition process. Application of this initiation mode has resulted in the first examples of "exogenous oxidant-free" Au<sup>I</sup> /Au<sup>III</sup> catalyzed 1,2-oxyarylations of ethylene and propylene. These demanding yet powerful ...[more]
