Article Abstract
The Cu(I)/Cu(II) and Cu(I)/Cu(III) catalytic cycles have been subject to intense debate in the field of copper-catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions. A mechanistic study on the Cu(I)/Cu(II) redox process, by X-ray absorption (XAS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies, has elucidated the reduction mechanism of Cu(II) to Cu(I) by 1,3-diketone and detailed investigation revealed that the halide ion is important for the reduction process. The oxidative nature of the thereby-formed Cu(I) has also been studied by XAS and EPR spectroscopy. This mechanistic information is applicable to the copper-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of β-ketocarbonyl derivatives to dihydrofurans. This protocol provides an ideal route to highly substituted dihydrofuran rings from easily available 1,3-dicarbonyls and olefins.

The crystallization of copper sulfide in aqueous supersaturated solutions in the presence of the polymer poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, and the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, was investigated. In these systems, copper sulfide precipitation competes with the reaction between copper cations and dodecyl sulfate anions. The competition of the two reactions may affect the reaction products significantly; therefore it is important to study the properties of the surfactant salt, copper dodecyl sulfate (Cu(DS)2), in detail.

Copper-dioxygen interactions are of interest due to their importance in biological systems as reversible O2- carriers, oxygenases, or oxidases and also because of their role in industrial and laboratory oxidation processes. Here we report on the kinetics (stopped-flow, -90 to 10 degrees C) of O2-binding to a series of dicopper(I) complexes, [Cu2(Nn)(MeCN)2]2+ (1Nn) (-(CH2)n- (n = 3-5) linked bis[(2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]amine, PY2) and their close mononuclear analogue, [(MePY2)Cu(MeCN)]+ (3), which form mu-eta 2:eta 2-peroxodicopper(II) complexes [Cu2(Nn)-(O2)]2+ (2Nn) and [(MePY2)Cu]2(O2)]2+ (4), respectively. The overall kinetic mechanism involves initial reversible (k+,open/k-,open) formation of a nondetectable intermediate O2-adduct [Cu2(Nn)(O2)]2+ (open), suggested to be a CuI.
