Capturing the Monomeric (L)CuH in NHC‐Capped Cyclodextrin: Cavity‐Controlled Chemoselective Hydrosilylation of α,β‐Unsaturated Ketones

The encapsulation of copper inside a cyclodextrin capped with an N‐heterocyclic carbene (ICyD) allowed both to catch the elusive monomeric (L)CuH and a cavity‐controlled chemoselective copper‐catalyzed hydrosilylation of α,β‐unsaturated ketones. Remarkably, (α‐ICyD)CuCl promoted the 1,2‐addition exc...

Zusammenfassung:The encapsulation of copper inside a cyclodextrin capped with an N‐heterocyclic carbene (ICyD) allowed both to catch the elusive monomeric (L)CuH and a cavity‐controlled chemoselective copper‐catalyzed hydrosilylation of α,β‐unsaturated ketones. Remarkably, (α‐ICyD)CuCl promoted the 1,2‐addition exclusively, while (β‐ICyD)CuCl produced the fully reduced product. The chemoselectivity is controlled by the size of the cavity and weak interactions between the substrate and internal C−H bonds of the cyclodextrin. The law of cavity: Cavity‐controlled chemoselective copper‐catalyzed 1,2‐ or 1,4‐hydrosilylation of α,β‐unsaturated ketones was observed inside NHC‐capped cyclodextrins (ICyDs). The cavity features an elusive intermediate monomeric (L)CuH moiety.
