Abstract:Bis(acetylacetonato)copper(II) (Cu(acac)2, 1), is active for the hydrophosphination of alkenes and alkynes
with primary and secondary phosphines. Under thermal conditions, the activity of 1 is comparable to some of the best
literature catalysts, but 1 is unique in that set possessing air- and water-stability. However, under ambient temperature
irradiation centered at 360 nm, the conversions are remarkable with some reactions complete in minutes and several
rarely reported unactivated substrates achievi… Show more
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.
