The N-heterocyclic carbene-copper alkoxide complex [(IPr)Cu(OtBu)] acts as a highly efficient catalyst for the hydrosilylation of carbon dioxide with a hydrosilane. The desired product, silyl formate could be isolated in multigram quantity under solvent free conditions. A copper formate catalyst intermediate was successfully isolated and structurally characterized, thus offering important insight into the mechanistic details.
N-杂环卡宾-铜醇盐复合物[(IPr)Cu(OtBu)]是一种高效的催化剂,可用于二氧化碳与硅烷的氢硅烷化反应。在无溶剂条件下,可分离得到多克级目标产物硅基甲酸酯。成功分离并结构表征了铜甲酸盐催化剂中间体,从而为反应的机理细节提供了重要的见解。
