The encapsulation of copper inside a cyclodextrin capped with an N-heterocyclic carbene (ICyD) allowed both to catch the elusive monomeric (L)CuH and a cavity-controlled chemoselective copper-catalyzed hydrosilylation of α,β-unsaturated ketones. Remarkably, (α-ICyD)CuCl promoted the 1,2-addition exclusively, while (β-ICyD)CuCl produced the fully reduced product. The chemoselectivity is controlled by the size of the cavity and weak interactions between the substrate and internal C-H bonds of the cyclodextrin.
将铜封装在带有 N-杂环卡宾 (ICyD) 的环糊精中,既可以捕获难以捉摸的单体 (L)CuH,又可以控制腔选择性地催化α,β-不饱和酮的铜催化氢化硅烷化反应。值得注意的是,(α-ICyD)CuCl 促进了 1,2-加成反应,而 (β-ICyD)CuCl 则生成了完全还原的产物。这种化学选择性受空腔大小和底物与环糊精内部 C-H 键之间弱相互作用的控制。
