Abstract
We reported a flexible copper complex modified with a bulky N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) which was fully characterized. In addition, the catalytic activity of new NHC–Cu(I) complex for N-arylation reactions of N-heterocycles were investigated. The stable structure endowed the complex with efficient catalytic performance. As a catalyst, it could smoothly and effectively catalyze the N-arylation reactions of various N-heterocycles to produce N-arylazoles under mild conditions (60 °C) with a low catalyst loading (1 mol%).
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
