Abstract
The Stryker reagent, octahedron-hexa-μ3-hydrohexachys(triphenylphosphine-κP)hexacopper(I), [(Ph3P)CuH)]6, reported by the Osborn Group in 1971, and systematically studied in its chemical applications since 1988 by Jeffrey M. Stryker, constitutes a powerful tool in the chemical synthesis of substances that have high value for fine chemistry. From substances with pharmacological properties to compounds of interest in catalysis, agrochemistry, materials science or nanochemistry, Stryker’s reagent, listed in 1991 as “reagent of the year”, and all its analogous polyhydrides, offer great opportunities to develop one-pot synthesis protocols based on a wide variety of chiral phosphines synthesized in the last decades. From the results obtained in the review that has been carried out, it can be concluded that Stryker’s reagent has given impetus to the investigation of high nuclear copper(I) polyhydride clusters, providing new research opportunities in organic and asymmetric synthesis or in the field of inorganic and organometallic chemistry.
