Abstract

An aminoarenethiolato copper (I) catalyst was attached to a carbosilane dendritic wedge, which had been prepared via a novel convergent synthetic method. Compared with the unsupported complex, this novel dendritic copper (I) catalyst is more robust towards hydrolysis and oxidation and has increased solubility in common organic solvents. The catalytic activity of the dendritic copper catalyst was tested in the 1, 4-addition of Et2Zn to 2 ...
