Abstract: | Pyrimidinium beta?nes (1), readily accessible via a straightforward modular synthesis from a formamidine and a monosubstituted malonic acid, are readily deprotonated by nBuLi (or KHMDS) to give the stable carbene species 2]Li+ (abbreviated as maloNHC). The latter represents the archetype of a subgroup of N-heterocyclic carbenes incorporating a malonate as remote anionic functional group within their heterocyclic backbone. While playing the dual role of monodentate 2 e- L type donor and noncoordinating charge carrier X, such ligands are seen to provide a rational route to zwitterionic complexes, as illustrated here by three examples (Rh, Fe, Ag). In particular, the reaction of 2]Li+ with RhCl(1,5-COD)]2 produces the neutral 14 e- complex Rh(maloNHC)(COD) (3) in which coordinative unsaturation at the metal is relieved in the solid state by an uncommon labile bonding interaction between the Cipso of one of the mesityl arms and the Rh center. |
