Overcoming Copper Reduction Limitation in Asymmetric Substitution: Aryl-Radical-Enabled Enantioconvergent Cyanation of Alkyl Iodides

S Chen, D Ding, L Yin, X Wang… - Journal of the …, 2024 - ACS Publications
Cu-catalyzed enantioconvergent cross-coupling of alkyl halides has emerged as a powerful
strategy for synthesizing enantioenriched molecules. However, this approach is intrinsically …

Catalytically Relevant Organocopper (III) Complexes Formed through Aryl-Radical-Enabled Oxidative Addition

W Yan, AT Poore, L Yin, S Carter, YS Ho… - Journal of the …, 2024 - ACS Publications
Stepwise oxidative addition of copper (I) complexes to form copper (III) species via single
electron transfer (SET) events has been widely proposed in copper catalysis. However …

Three Distinct Oxidation States (II/II, II/III, and III/III) of Diorganocopper Complexes

K Hua, F Xie, S Ye, MT Zhang - JACS Au, 2024 - ACS Publications
In this report, we present a structurally and spectroscopically characterized diorganocopper
system in three distinct oxidation states:[CuIICuII](1),[CuIICuIII](2), and [CuIIICuIII](3). These …
