Steric Stabilization of Nucleophilic Carbenes

Abstract: Two tert‐butyl groups at the nitrogen atoms of the cyclic carbene 2, which is accessible from 1 by reduction with potassium, provide sufficient stability to enable it to be stored indefinitely under exclusion of air and moisture. In contrast, sterically less shielded carbenes of type 2 (R = Me, Et, iPr) dimerize slowly at room temperature to olefins 3.

“…Interestingly, our preliminary screening led us to choose NHCs with different stabilities towards dimerization; the dimer from the carbene in 2 is unknown, whereas the dimer from the carbene in 1 is a volatile olefin. 15 Some Cu(I) precursors are well known to undergo disproportionation reactions to Cu(0) and Cu(II), which has been exploited in the CVD of copper metal films. 16 This process relies on the clean purging from the deposition zone of the Cu(II) product along with any stabilizing Lewis base employed in the Cu(I) precursor.…”

“…12 Esta diferença de reatividade tem sido atribuída a vários fatores, como a relativa aromaticidade dos carbenos do tipo A (insaturados) e a menor diferença de energia do estado singleto para o estado tripleto excitado para os carbenos do tipo B (aproximadamente 80 kcal/mol para os imidazolidenos e aproximadamente 70 kcal/mol para os imidazolinilidenos). 13 Existe portanto uma relação proporcional entre a energia de ativação para a formação do dímero (E a ) e a diferença de energia entre os estados singleto e tripleto (∆E S-T ), ou seja, a E a para a dimerização fica maior à medida que ∆E S-T aumenta.…”
