Unexpected C–O Bond Cleavage by a Copper–Phosphido Compound
Copper methoxide compound IPrCuOMe was unexpectedly formed in a reaction of IPrCuPPh<sub>2</sub> with methyl acrylate. The alkoxide product was identified from the reaction mixture spectroscopically and structurally characterized. This C–O bond cleavage reaction likely depends on nucleop...

| Summary: | Copper methoxide compound IPrCuOMe was unexpectedly formed in a reaction of IPrCuPPh<sub>2</sub> with methyl acrylate. The alkoxide product was identified from the reaction mixture spectroscopically and structurally characterized. This C–O bond cleavage reaction likely depends on nucleophilicity of the Cu–P bond of IPrCuPPh<sub>2</sub>. |
