Oboro Labs Inc. CAS# 1007375-08-7. OCO-Me Pincer Ligand, 99%. IUPAC Name: 1,1′:3′,1′′-Terphenyl, 3,3′′-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2,2′′-dimethoxy
Description:
The OCO-Me pincer ligand is an organic compound with a distinctive molecular structure. It belongs to the terphenyl family, characterized by three phenyl rings interconnected by single bonds. In this particular compound, each phenyl ring is substituted with tert-butyl groups (-C(CH3)3) at the 3′ and 3” positions, and methoxy groups (-OCH3) at the 2′ and 2” positions. This arrangement imparts unique chemical properties to the compound, making it suitable as a ligand in coordination chemistry. This OCO-Me pincer ligand is a precursor to the deprotected pincer ligand used in the synthesis of the Veige Catalyst. The unique arrangement of ligands around the tungsten atom imparts remarkable stability and reactivity to the catalyst, enabling efficient transformation of alkyne substrates into valuable organic products.
Applications:
The primary use of the OCO-Me pincer ligand is as precursor to the deprotected pincer ligand used in the synthesis of the Veige Catalyst. Deprotecting the OMe group with a thiol reveals the OH group poised to bind to metal ions. This ligand can be used across the periodic table as a precursor to trianionic pincer ligands and coordination complexes.
