Özet

Organic and organometallic chemistry was indisputably transformed by Arduengo et al who isolated the first free Nheterocyclic

carbene (NHC) in 1991 [1]. Since then, a large number of different NHCs have been synthesized, and this

important class of ligands has been known as excellent candidates for palladium-catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions due to

their superior performance over the more commonly used tertiary phosphines. These ligands are electron-rich Lewis bases that

benefit from stabilization associated with both strong σ-donor and weak π‐acceptor character [2].

Recently, with the developments, impart unique properties to molecules with fluorine-containing units among numerous

structural motifs have been demanded [3]. As a result of these developments, close to three hundred fluorine-containing drugs

have been approved and used worldwide. Also, half of the drugs containing these fluorine atoms were blockbusters [4].

Acetylcholine (ACh) is a key neurotransmitter in the human body, acting as a biochemical messenger for conveying signals

via the nerve synapse. The significance of central cholinergic transmission has been relevant to a plethora of diseases, like

Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and epilepsy [5]. In our study, we have reported the synthesis and characterization of the trifluoromethoxybenzyl substituted benzimidazolium

salts. Additionally, these compounds were examined against the acetylcholinesterase enzyme.
