Ruthenium(η6,η1-arene-CH2-NHC) Catalysts for Direct Arylation of 2-Phenylpyridine with (Hetero)Aryl Chlorides in Water
A series of new benzimidazolium halides were synthesized in good yields as unsymmetrical N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors containing the N–CH2–arene group. The benzimidazolium halides were readily converted into ruthenium(II)–NHC complexes with the general formula [RuCl2(η6,η1–arene–CH2–NHC)]...
