Epoxy compounds usually have stronger nucleophilic ability, because the alkyl group on the oxygen atom makes the bond angle smaller, which makes the lone pair of electrons react more dissimilarly with the electron-deficient system. Compound: Mesitylcopper(I), is researched, Molecular C9H11Cu, CAS is 75732-01-3, about Reaction of copper aryls with imidazol-2-ylidenes or triphenylphosphine. Formation of 1:1-adducts with two-coordinate copper atoms.Recommanded Product: Mesitylcopper(I).
The reaction of the Cu aryls CuDmp (Dmp = 2,6-Mes2C6H3; Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) and CuMes with the σ-donors PPh3 and 1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene [C[N(i-Pr)CMe]2] affords the adducts DmpCu←PPh3 (1), DmpCu←C{N(i-Pr)CMe}2 (2) and MesCu←C{N(i-Pr)CMe}2 (3) in 65-84% yields. The colorless compounds were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, single crystal structure anal., and also by 31P NMR spectroscopy of 1, elemental anal. of 2, mass spectrometry of 2 and 3, IR spectroscopy of 2 and m.p. of 2 and 3. In the solid-state structures the two-coordinate Cu atoms have relatively short Cu-P and Cu-C(carbene) distances of 218.91(11) of 1, 190.2(3) of 2 and 191.1(4) pm of 3. DFT calculations at the B3PW91 level were performed for the model compound PhCu←C[N(H)CH]2 and also for the free carbene ligand C[N(H)CH]2.
This literature about this compound(75732-01-3)Recommanded Product: Mesitylcopper(I)has given us a lot of inspiration, and I hope that the research on this compound(Mesitylcopper(I)) can be further advanced. Maybe we can get more compounds in a similar way.
