The effect of substituents on the syn-anti conformer ratio in naphthyl-based imidazolinium salts and their corresponding N-heterocyclic carbenes


Gatti, M; Wu, L; Drinkel, E; Gaggia, F; Blumentritt, S; Linden, A; Dorta, R (2011). The effect of substituents on the syn-anti conformer ratio in naphthyl-based imidazolinium salts and their corresponding N-heterocyclic carbenes. ARKIVOC, 2011(6):176-198.

Abstract

Eight new N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) featuring substituted naphthyl side chains were
synthesized. These molecules are present in solution as a stable mixture of anti and syn
conformers. Through careful tuning of the substituents on position 2 and 2,7 of the naphthyl
moieties, it was possible to synthesize molecules that display a strong preference for the anti
conformation (up to 95:5). This will greatly facilitate their optimized use as single isomeric
ligands in metal-catalysis and as organocatalysts.
