摘要
The 1,3-diaryl-imidazolium chlorides IPr center dot HCl (aryl = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), IMes center dot HCl (aryl = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) and IXy center dot HCl (aryl = 2,6-dimethylphenyl), precursors to widely used N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands and catalysts, were prepared in high yields (81%, 69% and 89%, respectively) by the reaction of 1,4-diaryl-1, 4-diazabutadienes, paraformaldehyde and chlorotrimethylsilane in dilute ethyl acetate solution. A reaction mechanism involving a 1,5-dipolar electrocyclization is proposed.
