Formation of copper(I) isocyanate complexes by the reaction of carbon dioxide and copper(I) bis(trimethylsilyl)amide complexes
Abstract
Copper(I) bis(trimethylsilyl)amide deoxygenates carbon dioxide in the presence of an added ligand to produce hexamethyldisiloxane and a copper(I) isocyanate complex which is converted into an alkyl isocyanate by treatment with an alkyl iodide.
