A new synthetic method for the preparation of protonated-NHCs and related compounds

Protonated versions of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC,H⁺) are classically prepared by closing the ring through the introduction of the CH⁺ fragment. Here we report a totally different synthetic approach, which can be viewed as the addition of a 1,3-diazaallyl anion to a compound featuring two leaving groups (hereafter named “di-electrophile”). Using 1,3- and 1,4-dibromides, six- and seven-membered NHC,H⁺s have been prepared in good yields. Similarly, with 1,3,2-dioxathiolane-2,2-dioxide as a di-electrophile, imidazolidinium salts were obtained. To illustrate its broad scope of application, this synthetic route has been expanded to the preparation of protonated cyclic amino alkyl carbenes (CAACs) and amino thio carbenes, using 1-aza-allyl and 1,3-azathio-allyl anions, respectively.     

A benzimidazole-based N-heterocyclic carbene derived from 1,10-phenanthroline

[reaction: see text] A catalytically active palladium-complexed tetracyclic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) was prepared in three steps from commercially available 1,10-phenanthroline by using a reduction-cyclization-deprotonation sequence. The new carbene framework is a prototype for the development of a series of chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes.     

Functionalised saturated-backbone carbene ligands: yttrium and uranyl alkoxy-carbene complexes and bicyclic carbene-alcohol adducts

A new and modular route to bidentate ligands that combines an alkoxide with a saturated backbone N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) is presented. The bi(heterocyclic) compounds are formally the addition product of a saturated NHC and the alcohol group of the N-functionalised arm. Using these compounds, the synthesis and structural characterisation of the first electropositive metal complexes of saturated N-heterocyclic carbenes has been achieved, and examples structurally characterised for the yttrium(III) and the uranyl [UO(2)](2+) cations.     

What difference one double bond makes: Electronic structure of saturated and unsaturated n-heterocyclic carbene ligands in Grubbs 2nd generation-type catalysts

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands are a versatile and useful class of ligands that have enjoyed much success over the past few decades in organometallic chemistry. This fact is exemplified most convincingly in Grubbs 2nd generation olefin metathesis catalysts. We explore the electronic impact of the NHC-ligand by decoupling electronic and steric effects through simplified model N-heterocyclic carbenes. Saturated and unsaturated N-heterocyclic carbene ligands give rise to fundamentally different frontier orbitals in these catalysts, suggesting a need to classify them as two electronically distinct ligand classes.     

The chemistry of functionalised N-heterocyclic carbenes

This tutorial review presents the synthesis, chemistry and applications of functionalised N-heterocyclic carbenes NHC and their transition metal complexes. Functionalised NHC comprise those carrying a phosphino-, amino-, imino- or oxygen-containing functionality on the imidazole sidechain. Main applications have been the modification of catalysts and their immobilisation by fixation on a polymeric support using the functional group. Whereas the functionalisation of the NHC has not improved their performance in catalysis, new developments have occurred in the use of imidazole-containing biomolecules such as L-histidine or caffeine as precursors for NHC.     

pi-Face donor properties of N-heterocyclic carbenes

The donor properties of aryl substituted N-heterocyclic carbenes are characterized by lone pair donation from the carbene carbon and, as is shown here, by donation of electron density of the aromatic pi-face of the NHC aryl groups towards the metal.     

Thermally stable potassium N-heterocyclic carbene complexes with alkoxide ligands, and a polymeric crystal structure with distorted, bridging carbenes

Alkoxide-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) stabilise the potassium-imidazole-2-ylidene fragment against 1,2 alkyl rearrangement reactions; this allows the first structural characterisation of a potassium NHC complex, which reveals distorted and unusual bonding interactions between the imidazole ring and the potassium cation.     

Complexes of borane and N-heterocyclic carbenes: a new class of radical hydrogen atom donor

Calculations suggest that complexes of borane with N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) have B-H bond dissocation energies more then 20 kcal/mol less than free borane, diborane, borane-THF, and related complexes. Values are in the range of popular radical hydrogen atom donors like tin hydrides (70-80 kcal/mol). The resulting prediction that NHC borane complexes could be used as radical hydrogen atom donors was verified by radical deoxygenations of xanthates by using either AIBN or triethylborane as initiator.     

Efficient transesterification/acylation reactions mediated by N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts

Imidazol-2-ylidenes, a family of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC), are efficient catalysts in the transesterification involving numerous esters and alcohols. Low catalyst loadings of aryl- or alkyl-substituted NHC catalysts mediate the acylation of alcohols with enol acetates in short reaction times at room temperature. Commercially available and more difficult to cleave methyl esters react with primary alcohols in the presence of alkyl-substituted NHC to efficiently form the corresponding esters. While primary alcohols are selectively acylated over secondary alcohols with use of enol esters as acylating agents, methyl and ethyl esters can be employed as protective agents for secondary alcohols in the presence of the more active alkyl-substituted NHC catalysts. The NHC-catalyzed transesterification protocol was simplified by generating the imidazol-2-ylidene catalysts in situ.     

N-heterocyclic carbenes as versatile nucleophilic catalysts for transesterification/acylation reactions

[reaction: see text] Imidazol-2-ylidenes, a family of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC), are efficient catalysts in the transesterification between esters and alcohols. Low catalyst loadings of aryl- or alkyl-substituted NHC catalysts mediate the acylation of alcohols with vinyl acetate in convenient reaction times at room temperature. Commercially available and more difficult to cleave methyl esters react with numerous alcohols in the presence of alkyl-substituted NHC to form efficiently the corresponding esters in very short reaction times.
