Synthesis, structure, and application of self-assembled copper(II) aqua complex by H-bonding for acceleration of the nitroaldol reaction on water.
Simple addition: Copper(II) aqua complex 1 can be prepared in a one-pot synthesis and is self-assembled by H-bond interactions. Complex 1 is shown to accelerate the nitroaldol reaction on water, which is a heterogeneous process, requiring no additive or base, and 1 can be recycled without loss of activity. Copper(II) aqua complex 1 has been prepared in a one-pot synthesis. The single crystal X-ray analysis showed that the complex is self-assembled through aqua ligands by H-bond interactions and the copper(II) atoms are pentacoordinated with square pyramidal geometry. Complex 1 has been studied for the acceleration of the nitroalodol reaction on water. It is a clean technological process and the catalyst can be recycled without loss of activity.
