Description

Copper(II) methoxide is an inorganic compound that contains nitrogen atoms and a byproduct. It is produced as a byproduct of the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and copper metal, which produces hydrogen peroxide and copper(II) hydroxide. The crystal structure of this compound has been determined using x-ray diffraction, revealing that it is a coordination complex with a geometric shape of square planar. Copper(II) methoxide is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol or acetone. This compound reacts with imines to form adducts and can also be used to form coordination complexes with organometallic compounds. Copper(II) methoxide can be used as a ligand for transition metals such as nickel, palladium, platinum, or gold to form complexes. Copper(II) methoxide has been shown to react with radicals to form radical coupling products. This compound can also mediate reactions involving mononuclear species or react with apical groups to form
