Isomerization of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol into prenal: mechanistic observations on tricomponent catalyst systems of the type Ti(OR)4–CuCl–R′CO2H. Crystal structure of [CuCl(Me2C(OH)CCH)]4
摘要:
The mechanism of the title catalytic system was investigated, in particular by synthesizing several compounds that model the postulated metal-oxo-propargyloxo intermediates, such as [Ti(mu-O)(O-Bu-t)(O(2)CTol)](2) (Tol = p-MeC6H4), Ti(OCMe2C=CH)(4) and [CuCl(Me2C(OH)C=CH)](4). The molecular structure of [CuCl(Me2C(OH)C=CH)](4) was determined by; X-ray crystallography and heterobimetallic Ti-Cu complexes comprising the 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-oxo fragment are reported.
