Facile Syntheses of N-Heterocyclic Carbene Precursors through I2 - or NIS-Promoted Amidiniumation of N-Alkenyl Formamidines.

We have developed I2 - or N-iodosuccinimide (NIS)-mediated amidiniumation of N-alkenyl formamidines for the syntheses of cyclic formamidinium salts, some of which could be directly used as N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors. Treatment of iodine-containing formamidinium salts with Al2 O3 led to the formation of cyclic formamidinium salts with an unsaturated backbone. A rhodium(I) complex ligated by a representative NHC was prepared by the reaction of [Rh(cod)Cl]2 (cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene) with the free carbene obtained in situ from deprotonation of the corresponding formamidinium salts. The NHCs prepared in situ can also react with S8 to afford the corresponding thiones.
