Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of Copper(I) Proazaphosphatrane Complexes.

ABSTRACT: Copper(I) complexes of isobutyl- (^i-BuL) and isopropyl-substituted (^i-PrL) proazaphosphatranes have been synthesized. Structural and computational studies of a series of monomeric complexes ^i-BuLCuX (X = Cl, Br, I) and dimeric [^i-PrLCuCl]₂ provide insight into the transannulation within and steric properties of the proazaphosphatrane ligand. These halide complexes are competent precatalysts in a model borylation reaction, and the silylamido complex ^i-BuLCuN(TMS)₂ catalyzes hydrosilylation of benzaldehyde under mild conditions.
