N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) analogues of Wittig hydrocarbon, [(NHC)(Stil)(NHC)] (3a-c) (NHC = SIPr (1a) = C[N(Dipp)CH], Dipp = 2,6-iPrCH; IPr (1b) = C[N(Dipp)CH]; Me-IPr (1c) = C[N(Dipp)CMe] and Stil = CHCHCHCH) have been reported as crystalline solids. 3a-c are prepared by two-electron reductions of the corresponding bis-1,3-imidazoli(ni)um bromides (NHC)(Stil)NHC) (2a-c) with KC in >94 % yields. 2a-c are accessible by the nickel catalyzed direct C-C coupling of NHCs (1a-c) with (E)-4,4'-dibromostilbene. One-electron oxidation of 3a,b yields the corresponding radical cations [(NHC)(Stil)NHC)]B(CF) 4a,b. All compounds have been characterized by UV-Vis/NMR/EPR spectroscopy as well as 2a, 3a, and 3b by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The electronic structures of representative systems have been analyzed by quantum chemical calculations.
维蒂希烃的N-杂环卡宾(NHC)类似物[(NHC)(Stil)(NHC)] (3a - c)(NHC = SIPr (1a) = C[N(Dipp)CH],Dipp = 2,6 - iPr₂CH;IPr (1b) = C[N(Dipp)CH];Me - IPr (1c) = C[N(Dipp)CMe]且Stil = CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂)已被报道为晶体固体。3a - c是通过用KC对相应的双-1,3 - 咪唑鎓溴化物(NHC)(Stil)NHC) (2a - c)进行双电子还原制备的,产率>94%。2a - c可通过镍催化的NHCs(1a - c)与(E)-4,4'-二溴芪的直接C - C偶联合成。3a、b的单电子氧化产生相应的自由基阳离子[(NHC)(Stil)NHC)]⁺B(C₆F₅)₄⁻ 4a、b。所有化合物均通过紫外-可见/核磁共振/电子顺磁共振光谱进行了表征,2a、3a和3b还通过单晶X射线衍射进行了表征。代表性体系的电子结构已通过量子化学计算进行了分析。
