@article{10272/19647, year = {2020}, month = {8}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10272/19647}, abstract = {A family of phosphine ligands containing a five‐membered ring similar to the popular N‐heterocyclic carbene ligands and an alkoxy third substituent has been developed. These alkoxydiaminophosphine ligands (ADAP) can be generated in one pot and reacted with a copper(I) source leading to the high yield isolation of complexes [(ADAP)CuX]2 (X=Cl, Br). The dinuclear nature of these compounds has been established by means of X‐ray studies and DOSY experiments. A screening of the catalytic properties of these complexes toward carbene‐transfer reactions from diazocompounds to C−H bonds (alkane, arene), olefins or N−H bonds, as well as in CuAAC or nitrene transfer reactions have shown a performance at least similar, if not better, than their (NHC)CuCl analogues, opening a new window in copper catalysis with these readily tunable ADAP ligands.}, organization = {The authors would like to thank the financial support of the MINECO (CTQ2017-82893-C2-1-R), and PO FEDER 2014–2020, (UHU-1260216).}, publisher = {Wiley}, keywords = {Alkoxydiaminophosphine ligands}, keywords = {Copper phosphine complexes}, keywords = {C-H activation}, keywords = {Carbene and nitrene transfer}, keywords = {CuAAC}, title = {Alkoxydiaminophosphine Ligands as Surrogates of NHCs in Copper Catalysis}, doi = {10.1002/chem.202001517}, author = {Pizarro, Juan Diego and Molina, Francisco and Romero Fructos-Vázquez, Manuel and Pérez Romero, Pedro José}, }
