Synthesis and structural studies of Cu(i) methylthiosalicylate complexes and their catalytic application in thiol-yne click reaction

Abstract

Three complexes of Cu(I), [Cu(PPh3)2(mts)] (1), [Cu(dppf)(mts)] (2), [Cu(dppe)(mts)]2 (3) (mts = methylthiosalicylate; dppf = dipheylphosphinoferrocene; dppe = diphenylphosphinoethane) have been synthesized and characterized. Complexes 1 and 2 have monomeric...

Synthesis of a series of Cd(ii) furan-2-thiocarobxylates: unprecedented coordination geometry of a Cd(ii) complex exhibiting catalytic efficiency for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-one derivatives

“…These complexes having a vacant site are especially known for their (Lewis acid) catalytic activity. Lewis acid catalysts are important in Knoevenagel condensation, [1][2][3] cyanation, 4 Strecker reaction, 5 Aldol condensation, 6 transesterification, 7 epoxidation, 8 hydrogenation, 9 oxidation, 10 Friedel-Crafts alkylation, 11 Henry reaction, 12 Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, 13,14 and Michael addition. 15 In recent times, there has been a significant focus on the synthesis of coordinatively unsaturated Cd(II) compounds, driven by the desire to understand their catalytic effectiveness.…”

Two novel metal–organic frameworks functionalised with pentamethylcyclopentadienyl iridium(iii) chloride for catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to formate

“…One way to overcome this drawback is to support highly active catalysts on solid supports. 2,3 Solid supports such as mesoporous silica (SB15), 4 polymers, 5 polystyrene, zeolites, alignate, 6 covalent organic frameworks (COFs) 7,8 and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) 9,10 have been employed, in heterogenizing catalytically active molecular complexes. MOFs are structural materials of lowdensity and large-unit-cell-volume, 11 that are outstanding supports due to their tunable and flexible synthesis.…”
