The Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Conformational Analysis of (1,3-Bis(2-methyl-4-diethylaminophenyl)imidazolidin- 2-ylidene)chloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I)
The Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Conformational Analysis of (1,3-Bis(2-methyl-4-diethylaminophenyl)imidazolidin- 2-ylidene)chloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I)
The in situ prepared three component system [RhCl(COD)]2/imidazolidinium salts (2, 4) and KOBut catalyses the addition of phenylboronicacid to sterically hindered aldehydes affording the corresponding arylated secondary alcohols in good yields. Four novel 1,3-dialkylimidazolidinium (2-4) salts as NHC precursors were synthesized from N,N′-dialkylethylenediamine.
