Article Synopsis
- The study demonstrates that encapsulating copper in a cyclodextrin with an N-heterocyclic carbene enhances its ability to capture monomeric (L)CuH and perform selective chemical reactions.
- The specific structure of the cyclodextrin (α or β) influences the type of reaction product formed: α-ICyD leads to a 1,2-addition, while β-ICyD results in a fully reduced product.
- The variation in chemoselectivity is attributed to the cyclodextrin's cavity size and the weaker interactions between the substrate and the internal C-H bonds of the cyclodextrin.
