Alkali metal salts of ditopic carbanionic carbenes as reagents for the synthesis of novel complexes of group 12 and 14 metals.
Reaction of the lithiated N-heterocyclic carbene [:C[N(2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3)]2(CH)CLi]n (LiIPr) with KO(t)Bu in diethylether (Et2O) afforded the novel organo-potassium compound [:C[N(2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3)]2(CH)CK(THF)2] (KIPr·2THF). Both LiIPr and KIPr can be interpreted as ditopic carbanionic carbenes (or alka...
