Bis(trimethylsilyl)mercury cleanly reacts at low temperature with chloroamidinium and -iminium chlorides, generating persistent metal-free cyclic and acyclic diaminocarbenes, as well as transient aryl-, chloro-, and hydrogenoaminocarbenes; with the latter, the corresponding olefin dimers were isolated, whereas with the former, no dimerization processes were observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
