{2,2-Bis[(4S)-4-isopropyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl]propane}bis(N,N-dimethylformamide)copper(II) bis[hexafluoridoantimonate(V)]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C15H26N2O2)(C3H7NO)2][SbF6]2, which is a potential catalyst in the catalytic asymmetric Gosteli–Claisen rearrangement, the central CuII atom is in a nearly square-planar cis-N2O2 environment in the cation arising from its coordination by an N,N-bidentate 2,2-bis[(4S)-4-isopropyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl]propane ligand and two O-bonded N,N-dimethylformamide molecules. Two SbF6− anions are positioned on opposite sides of the plane through the CuN2O2 unit, generating an axially distorted CuN2O2F2 octahedral geometry for the metal ion.
