Copper-based catalysts derived from salen-type ligands: synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles via [3+2] cycloaddition and propargylamines via A3-coupling reactions
Base-metal copper(ii) complexes derived from unsymmetrical salen-type ligands were designed and synthesized using ligands L1H to L4H. These complexes were employed as catalysts for [3+2] cycloaddition and A3-coupling reactions.
