Mesitylcopper, with the CAS number 75732-01-3, is an organocopper compound characterized by its unique structure, which includes a copper atom coordinated to a mesityl group (2,4,4-trimethylpentyl). This compound is typically used in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions involving nucleophilic additions and coupling processes. Mesitylcopper is known for its stability and reactivity, making it a valuable reagent in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. It is often employed in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound is generally handled under inert atmospheres due to its sensitivity to moisture and air, which can lead to degradation or unwanted side reactions. Additionally, mesitylcopper exhibits distinctive physical properties, such as a characteristic color and solubility in organic solvents, which facilitate its use in various synthetic applications. As with many organometallic compounds, proper safety precautions should be taken when handling mesitylcopper due to its potential reactivity and toxicity.

Mesitylcopper(I)

Mesitylcopper(I) is a coordination complex that is useful for asymmetric synthesis. It can be prepared by the reaction of magnesium with mesitylene (1). Mesitylcopper(I) has been used in the preparation of β-unsaturated ketones, such as cyclopentenones, and phenyl groups. The compound's potential use arises from its ability to act as a catalyst in the Suzuki coupling reaction. This process involves the cross-coupling of organometallic reagents with olefins, which are compounds containing double bonds and no hydrogen atoms. Mesitylcopper(I) also has promising applications in X-ray absorption spectroscopy and structural analysis.

Applications Mesitylcopper is an organometal used to synthesize compounds such as copper diketonate complexes.
