(NHC)M Cores as Catalysts for the Olefin Aziridination Reaction (M = Cu, Ag, Au): Evidencing a Concerted Mechanism for the Nitrene Transfer Process. In Organometallics (Vol. 41, Issue 22, pp. 3349–3355). American Chemical Society (ACS). https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.organomet.2c003100276-73331520-6041 (electrónico)https://hdl.handle.net/10272/21359Complexes [(NHC)MCl] (M = coinage metal) have been evaluated as catalyst for the olefin aziridination reaction using PhI=NTs as nitrene source, with moderate to high activity being found depending of the metal and the olefin. At variance with frequently employed copper catalysts with bi-, tri- or tetradentate, N-donor ligands, these monodentante, C-donor ligand infer a remarkable effect in the reaction mechanism. Experimental evidences support the proposal of a concerted mechanism and the absence of radical intermediates, which are the commonly proposed species involved in these nitrene transfer reactions.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/AziridinesCatalystsHydrocarbonsLigandsTransfer reactionsjournal article10.1021/acs.organomet.2c00310open access
