Electrochemical reduction of an imidazolium cation: a convenient preparation of imidazol-2-ylidenes and their observation in an ionic liquid
2004
1,3-Bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolium chloride is reduced electrochemically and chemically to produce a nucleophilic carbene, namely 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene. The carbene was also shown to be compatible with and persistent in the ionic liquid tetradecyl(trihexyl)phosphonium chloride.
