Abstract: | Treatment of N-methylimidazole with pentafluorobenzyl bromide produces 1-pentafluorobenzyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (1), which reacts with silver(I) oxide to give the N-heterocycle carbene (NHC) complex 1-pentafluorobenzyl-3-methylimidazolin-2-ylidene silver(I) bromide (2). Complex 2 acts as a carbene transfer reagent giving the complexes [(η5-C5Me5)MCl2(NHC)] (3a, M = Rh; 3b M = Ir) on reaction with [(η5-C5Me5)MCl(μ-Cl)]2. An attempt to use intramolecular dehydrofluorinative coupling methodology to link the carbene and the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligands of [(η5-C5Me5)RhCl(CNtBu)(NHC)]BF4 was unsuccessful. |
