“Copper-in-charcoal”
has been shown to be a versatile
catalytic source of supported copper for a variety of important synthetic
transformations, as well as in other fields such as energy. We herein
report the characterization of this material and the implications
that its preparation has on catalysis, thus providing a greater understanding
of the scope and limitations of this catalyst system.
