Scalable Synthesis of 1,3,4,5-Tetraaryl Imidazolium Salts as Precursors of Sterically Demanding N-Heterocyclic Carbenes

Abstract A convenient, large-scale, and cost-efficient synthesis of 4,5-diarylsubstituted N,N-diarylimidazolium salts is described. A variety of 1,3,4,5-tetraaryl imidazolium salts with increasing electron donation and steric bulk of the N-aryl groups was synthesized in good yields. In the key step,...
