Hydrido(triphenylphosphino)copper(I) hexamer, also known as (Triphenylphosphine)copper hydride hexamer or Stryker’s reagent, is an organocopper compound with the molecular formula C₁₀₈H₉₆Cu₆P₆ and a molecular weight of 1961.04 g/mol. This compound features copper in the +1 oxidation state coordinated with hydride ions and triphenylphosphine ligands in a hexameric arrangement, providing a stable framework for its reducing properties. Appearing as an orange to dark red powder with a purity of 95% (determined by elemental analysis), it is moisture-sensitive and requires storage in a dry environment to maintain stability.
This compound is a widely-used reducing agent in organic synthesis, particularly for selective reductions of unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Its structure, featuring coordinated copper and triphenylphosphine ligands, provides stability and selectivity, making it ideal for complex synthetic applications.
Classified with hazard codes H302, H315, H319, and H335, Hydrido(triphenylphosphino)copper(I) hexamer should be handled with care. Standard protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, is recommended. Due to its sensitivity, it should be stored in a cool, dry location.
Stryker’s reagent is essential in synthetic and pharmaceutical research, where it enables selective reductions in complex organic molecules. It is commonly used for transformations requiring copper-centered catalysis, advancing the development of fine chemicals and specialized materials.
(Triphenylphosphine)copper hydride hexamer is used as a catalyst for conjugate reduction of ortho-substituted cinnamic esters to form copper enolates, chemoselective preparation of alcohols via hydrogenation of aldehydes, 1,2-addition/transmetalation reactions, synthesis of the monomer for preparation of phosphorus- and silicon-containing epoxy resins, hydrosilylation reactions, chiral hydrogenation reactions, hydrostannation of activated alkynes. Some useful synthetic applications of this product include stoichiometric and catalytic hydrogenations, chemoselective conjugate reductions, as well as regiospecific and stereoselectiveconjugate hydride reductions.
