Epoxy compounds usually have stronger nucleophilic ability, because the alkyl group on the oxygen atom makes the bond angle smaller, which makes the lone pair of electrons react more dissimilarly with the electron-deficient system. Compound: Mesitylcopper(I), is researched, Molecular C9H11Cu, CAS is 75732-01-3, about Cu(CO)2(N(SO2CF3)2). The First Structurally Characterized Copper(I) Polycarbonyl.HPLC of Formula: 75732-01-3.
The title compound (II) was synthesized from a CH2Cl2 solution of mesitylcopper(I) and HN(SO2CF3)2 treated with 1.3 atm CO. The X-ray structure of II shows a three-coordinate Cu+ ion bonded to the sulfonamide nitrogen atom and to two CO ligands with long Cu-C bonds (1.90 and 1.91 Å) and a C-Cu-C bond angle of 122°. The two ν(CO) IR bands for II are at 2158 (s) and 2184 (m) cm-1. Cu(CO)3(N(SO2CF3)2) was produced from II being under 2000 psi CO. Cu(CO)(N(SO2CF3)2) formed quickly when II was under vacuum while further loss of CO was very slow at 24°C but more rapid at 80°C yielding Cu(N(SO2CF3)2).
This literature about this compound(75732-01-3)HPLC of Formula: 75732-01-3has given us a lot of inspiration, and I hope that the research on this compound(Mesitylcopper(I)) can be further advanced. Maybe we can get more compounds in a similar way.
