into the O-H bond of phenols was developed. A homobinuclear silver complex with a chiral phosphorous ligand was created in situ from AgNTf2 and (S)-XylylBINAP (in a 2:1 mole ratio). Detailed mechanistic studies using combined experimental and computational techniques revealed that one silver atom center of the catalyst forms a silver carbene and another one works as a Lewis acid for the nucleophilic
已开发了由供体-受体取代的重氮化合物生成的羧甲基银对苯酚的OH键的对映选择性插入反应。由AgNTf2和(S)-XylylBINAP(以2:1的摩尔比)原位产生具有手性磷配体的同双核银络合物。使用组合的实验和计算技术进行的详细机理研究表明,催化剂的一个银原子中心形成银卡宾,而另一个作为路易斯酸用于苯酚的亲核加成。两个抗衡阴离子,两个水分子和两个银原子协同介导随后的质子化事件,从而降低活化能并控制对映选择性,从而提供了一系列有价值的α-芳基-α-芳氧基酯。
