CN bond scission can be a potential avenue for functionalization of chem. bonds. Primarily, rupture of CN bonds in organonitriles are accomplished by protonation, reductive cleavage and metathesis techniques to furnish metal nitride moieties suitable to execute nitrogen transfer reactions. We have conducted an extensive computational study, using d. functional theory (DFT), to unravel the intricate mechanistic pathways traversed in the copper-promoted CN bond cleavage of coordinated cyanide anion under a dioxygen atm., which enables a nitrogen transfer to various aldehydes. Furthermore, detailed electronic structure anal. of the intermediates and the transition states along with the mechanistic corridors using ab initio multireference CASSCF calculations for two different copper promoters, CuCN and CuBr2, revealed that in both cases radical based pathways are operative, which is in sound agreement with the exptl. findings. This is a unique instance of oxygen activation mechanism which is initiated by single electron transfer from the carbon center of the nitrile moiety; whereas the major driving force of this mechanism is CuII/I redox cycle operating on the metal center. Our study revealed that the copper salts act as the “”electron pool”” in this unique nitrogen transfer reaction forming aryl nitrile from aryl aldehydes.
This literature about this compound(7789-45-9)Reference of Cupric bromidehas given us a lot of inspiration, and I hope that the research on this compound(Cupric bromide) can be further advanced. Maybe we can get more compounds in a similar way.
