Synthesis and characterization of bisoxazolines- and pybox-copper(ii) complexes and their application in the coupling of α-carbonyls with functionalized amines
Synthesis and characterization of bisoxazolines- and pybox-copper(<scp>ii</scp>) complexes and their application in the coupling of α-carbonyls with functionalized amines
[(Dm-Pybox)CuBr2] is efficient in catalyzing α-amination of ketones and esters, which tolerates functionality on the carbonyl and amine reaction components.
