Copper complexes of 1,5-diaza-cis-decalin diamines are highly effective in the oxidative asymmetric biaryl couplings of 3-substituted 2-naphthols. On the basis of the demonstrated success of these complexes as catalysts, an effort has been made to identify the copper species present in the reaction and to construct plausible models for the presumed catalyst-substrate complexes. Crystal structures of a series of 1,5-diaza-cis-decalin and N,N'-dialkyl-1,5-diaza-cis-decalin Cu(II) complexes have been obtained. The amine substitution determines the type of copper coordination complex formed. For the secondary amine compound, 1,5-dia-za-cis-decalin, 2:1 diamine:copper complexes appear to be the thermodynamically favored forms, but they are not catalytically active. Crystals of a catalytically competent trimeric 1:1 diamine:copper complex containing bridging hydroxo groups were also generated from 1,5-diaza-cis-decalin. For N,N'-dimethyl-1,5-diaza-cis-decalin, a 1:1 diaminexopper bis-mu-hydroxo dimeric complex forms. Larger N-alkyl groups prevent formation of 2:1 diaminexopper complexes as well as dimeric or trimeric species. For instance, the N,N'-diethyl-1,5-diaza-cis-decalin forms a monomeric 1:1 diamine:copper adduct. On the basis of these structures a model of the catalyst-substrate complex has been proposed that is consistent with the observed enantioselection. The absolute configurations of the diamines in each copper complex were the same even when the complexes were generated from the racemic diamine, with the exception of the bridging dimer. This observation may serve to explain the nonlinear effects in the, asymmetric biaryl couplings catalyzed by the 1,5-diaza-cis-decalin copper complexes.
