N-Heterocyclic carbenesvia abstraction of ammonia: ‘normal’ carbenes with ‘abnormal’ character

Abstract

A new ammonia adduct of a N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) has been isolated, which can be used as a reagent for the synthesis of transition metal carbene complexes. It represents the first example of a 1,2,3-triazolylidene with a 1,2,4-substitution pattern, thus opening a new subclass (‘normal’ 1,2,3-triazolylidenes) of sterically and electronically tunable NHCs.
