Preparation, structure and catalytic activity of copper(II) complexes of novel 4,4′-BOX ligands
摘要:
This Letter details the synthesis of two new 4,4'-bisoxazoline (BOX) ligands. The copper(II) complex of one of the new ligands is structurally determined. The catalytic performance of the copper(II) complexes of the novel ligands, and that of our recently described phenyl AraBOX ligand in Diels-Alder reactions are reported. We have used the structural information to propose an explanation of a curious variation in the diastereoselectivity obtained in the case of one ligand complex. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

phenyl 4,4'-bis(oxazoline) [AraBOX] is described. The novel ligand is prepared in two efficient steps from a bis-[(O-silyl)β-amino alcohol], via conversion into an intermediate bis(benzamide) followed by a one-pot deprotection-activation-ring closure (DARC) oxazoline formation. To our knowledge, this is the first reported synthesis of an oxazoline ring via this DARC method. The synthesis of two precursor
