چکیده
An atom-economic synthetic route to benzimidazolium salts is presented. The annulated polycyclic systems: 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium chloride (1-Cl), 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium chloride (2-Cl), 1,3-diphenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium chloride (3-Cl), and 1,3-di(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium chloride (4-Cl) were prepared in a two-step synthesis avoiding chromatographic work-up. In the key step triethyl orthoformate is reacted with the corresponding N (1),N (2)-diarylbenzene-1,2-diamines and then further transformed in situ, by alkoxy abstraction using trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl), and concomitant imidazole ring closure.

The influence of N-substitution on the reductive elimination behaviour of hydrocarbyl-palladium-carbene complexes--a DFT study.
The reductive elimination of 2-hydrocarbyl-imidazolium salts from hydrocarbyl-palladium complexes bearing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands represents an important deactivation route for catalysts of this type. We have explored the influence that carbene N-substituents have on both the activation energy and the overall thermodynamics of the reductive elimination reaction using density functi...
متن کاملSynthesis, characterization and microwave-promoted catalytic activity of novel N-phenylbenzimidazolium salts in Heck-Mizoroki and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions under mild conditions.
A number of novel benzimidazolium salts having aryl substituents such as N-phenyl, 4-chlorophenyl and various alkyl substituents were synthesized. Their microwave-assisted catalytic activities were evaluated in Heck-Mizoroki and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions using a catalytic system consisting of Pd(OAc)(2)/K(2)CO(3) in DMF/H(2)O under mild reaction conditions with consistent high y...

Pyrene and its derivatives exhibit thermal stability, high extinction coefficients, excimer formation, high photoluminescence, long fluorescence lifetime, fluorophoric properties and enhanced charge carrier mobility which make them find applications in optoelectronic area and are useful as large planar synthetic building blocks in supramolecular chemistry. One of the approaches to overcome this...

The melting points of several imidazolium-based ionic liquids or ionic liquid analogues were correlated using the CODESSA program in order to develop predictive tools for determination of suitable ionic liquid salts. The data set consisted of melting point data (degrees C) for 104 substituted imidazolium bromides divided on the basis of the N-substituents into three subsets: A-57 compounds, B-2...
متن کاملSimple and efficient synthesis of [MCI(NHC)] (M = Au, Ag) complexes.
A facile and efficient synthetic route leading to catalytically relevant N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) gold complexes is described. The method consists of one pot synthesis starting from readily available imidazolium salts and [AuCl(tht)], in the presence of K2CO3. Using the same protocol NHC silver complexes have been synthesised starting from AgNO3.
