This study presents a straightforward strategy for the synthesis of pNHC-metal complexes using readily available imine precursors. Unlike the common approach based on isonitrile, this method also allows the synthesis of pNHC complexes of other catalytically relevant metals.
Tosylated benzyl isocyanide complexes of gold(I), iridium(III), ruthenium(II), and rhodium(III) precursors were prepared and converted to the corresponding protic N-heterocyclic carbene (pNHC) metal complexes by reacting with imines. This modular approach offers a straightforward strategy for synthesizing pNHC-metal complexes starting from readily available imine precursors. In contrast to the common disconnection of isonitrile-based NHC complexes, which are synthesized by the addition of amines with tethered electrophiles, this approach also gives access to pNHC complexes of other catalytically relevant metals like ruthenium, rhodium, and iridium.
