S,S-Complexes of Copper(I) Halides with 1,2-Bis(3,5-dimethyloxazol-4-ylmethylsulfanyl)ethane as New Catalysts for Phenylacetylene Aminomethylation.

New metal-heterocycle S,S-complexes based on Cu(I) binary halides and a polydentate ligand, 1,2- bis(3,5-dimethyloxazol-4-ylmethylsulfanyl)ethane have been prepared. The obtained complexes have demonstrated high catalytic activity in aminomethylation of phenylacetylene with N,N,N',N'-tetramethylmethanediamine, bis(oxazolidin-3-yl)methane, or benzaldehyde-piperidine system.
