Monomeric Cu(I) amido and thiolate complexes that are supported by the N-heterocyclic carbene ligand 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (IPr) catalyze the hydroamination and hydrothiolation of electron-deficient vinylarenes with reactivity patterns that are consistent with an intermolecular nucleophilic addition of the amido/thiolate ligand of (IPr)Cu(XR) (X = NH or S; R = Ph, CH2Ph) to free vinylarene.
Synthesis and isolation of the monomeric octahedral platinum(IV) amido complex (NCN)PtMe2NHPh have been accomplished upon deprotonation of the amine complex [(NCN)PtMe2(NH2Ph)][OTf]. The preliminary reactivity of the amido ligand has been explored.
Addition reactions O 0060 anti-Markovnikov Hydroamination and Hydrothiolation of Electron-Deficient Vinylarenes Catalyzed by Well-Defined Monomeric Copper(I) Amido and Thiolate Complexes. -Monomeric copper(I) amido and thiolate complexes that are supported by a N-heterocyclic carbene ligand catalyze the hydroamination and hydrothiolation of electron-deficient vinylarenes (I). Reaction patterns are observed that are consistent with an intermolecular nucleophilic addition of the amido/thiolate ligand of the copper complex to the free vinylarene. -(MUNRO-LEIGHTON, C.; DELP, S.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
