General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Click here for more information.

Copper(II) acetate also known as cupric acetate, can be used as a catalyst in various processes in the field of greener chemistry. It is particularly useful in cross-coupling reactions, where it can promote the formation of carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds, without the need for hazardous reagents or solvents

Application

Catalyst for greener amine synthesis by reductive amination with hydrogen gas.

Copper-catalyzed reductive amination of aromatic and aliphatic ketones with anilines using environmental-friendly molecular hydrogen

Copper(II) acetate is used as a catalyst:
  • In the N-arylation of α-amino esters with p-tolylboronic acid to synthesize biaryls via cross-coupling reactions
  • In the the synthesis of substituted isoxazole derivatives

Polytriazole ligands such as the widely used tris[(1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl]amine (TBTA), are shown to assist copper(II) acetate-mediated azide-alkyne cycloaddition (AAC) reactions that involve nonchelating azides. Tris(2-{4-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1H-1,2,3-traizol-1-yl}ethyl)amine (DTEA) outperforms TBTA in a number of reactions. The satisfactory solubility of DTEA in a wide

The oxidative addition of anilines (2) with 1,4-naphthoquinone (3) to give N-aryl-2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones (1) was found to be catalyzed by copper(II) acetate. In the absence of the catalyst, the reactions are slower and give lower yields with the formation of many
