A pyridine and morpholine-functionalized dicopper(I,I)-NHC complex (1) features both terminal and bridging coordination modes of NHC within the same molecule, and catalyzes dual -C-H functionalization of diaryl amines for the hydroarylation of alkynes. A bimetallic construct in catalyst 1 allows sequential activation of -C-H bonds of two aryl units to furnish a wide variety of 9,10-dihydroacridine derivatives without the explicit use of a directing group.
一个吡啶和吗啉功能化的二铜(I,I)-NHC 配合物(1)在同一分子内具有 NHC 的末端和桥接配位模式,并催化二芳基胺的双 -C-H 官能化,用于炔烃的氢芳基化。催化剂 1 中的双金属结构允许两个芳基单元的 -C-H 键的顺序活化,以提供广泛的 9,10-二氢吖啶衍生物,而无需明确使用导向基团。
