1,3-Bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolium chloride Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

off-white to beige powder

Uses

1,3-Bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolium chloride is used as a phosphine-free ligand in various metal-catalyzed coupling reactions, often with advantageous results in difficult cases. For use in the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl Grignards with aryl chlorides (Kumada reaction). Many examples have been recorded of the use of NHC ligands in the Suzuki coupling reaction, for examples utilizing 1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene, in the coupling of arylboronic acids with relatively unreactive aryl chlorides.

Preparation

In a flask, the imine(3 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran(25 ml), followed by dropwise addition of chloromethyl ethyl ether(1.04 g, 11 mmol). the mixture was stirred under N2 at 40 °C for 18 h, and then ethyl ether(25 ml) was added to separate white solid. The solid was filtered and washed with ethyl ether. Finally, the white solid was dried under vacuum affording 1,3-Bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolium chloride.

The general procedure for the synthesis of 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolium chloride from N,N'-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)ethane-1,2-diimine and chloromethyl ethyl ether is as follows: in a dry flask, N,N'-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)ethane-1,2-diimine (3 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran ( 25 ml) followed by slow dropwise addition of chloromethyl ethyl ether (1.04 g, 11 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 40 °C for 18 h under nitrogen protection. After completion of the reaction, ether (25 ml) was added to precipitate a white solid. The solid product was collected by filtration and washed with ether and finally dried under vacuum to afford 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazole chloride (IMes-HCl) 2.2 g in 65% yield. The structure of the product was confirmed by 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) and 13C NMR (CDCl3, 100 MHz): 1H NMR δ 2.15 (s, 12H), 2.33 (s, 6H), 7.00 (s, 4H), 7.70 (s, 2H), 10.73 (s, 1H); 13C NMR δ 17.6, 21.1, 124.8, 129.8, 130.7, 134.1, 139.2, 141.1.
