For the reaction with iodobenzene, the products are diphenylamine and aniline. Protection of the hydrogen para to the iodo functionality with ortho-methyl groups results in quantitative conversion to diaryl amine. Combined computational and experimental studies suggest that C−N bond formation most likely occurs via an oxidative addition/reductive elimination sequence.}, number={1}, journal={ORGANOMETALLICS}, author={Delp, Samuel A. and Goj, Laurel A. and Pouy, Mark J. and Munro-Leighton, Colleen and Lee, John P. and Gunnoe, T.

Thermal decomposition reactions of (NHC)Cu(I) methyl complexes at temperatures between 100 and 130 degrees C produce methane, ethane, and ethylene. The reactions of (NHC)Cu(NHPh) complexes with bromoethane reveal increasing nucleophilic reactivity at the anilido ligand in the order (SIPr)Cu(NHPh) < (IPr)Cu(NHPh) < (IMes)Cu(NHPh) < (dtbpe)Cu(NHPh) [dtbpe = 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ethane]. DFT calculations suggest that the HOMO for the series of Cu anilido complexes is localized primarily on the amido nitrogen with some ppi(anilido)-dpi(Cu) pi-character. [(IPr)Cu(mu-H)]2 and (IPr)Cu(Ph) react with aniline to quantitatively produce (IPr)Cu(NHPh)/dihydrogen and (IPr)Cu(NHPh)/benzene, respectively.

Single-electron oxidation of the Cu(I) alkyl complexes upon reaction with AgOTf to form putative Cu(II) intermediates of the type [(L)Cu(R)]+ (L = NHC or dtbpe, R = Me or Et) results in the rapid production of (L)Cu(X) (X = OTf) and R2.

Versatile synthetic methods that allow C-C bond formation of aromatic compounds that proceed through transformation of C-H bonds would be of substantial value. Potential routes for C-C bond formation with aromatic substrates include the hydroarylation of unsaturated compounds (e.g., olefins or alkynes) and oxidative coupling of aromatic compounds and olefins or alkynes. Such reactions can proceed through metal-mediated transformation of C-H bonds. The range of reported catalysts and catalytic cycles for these classes of reactions have been reviewed herein.
