Abstract

Reaction of [RhCl(COD)] 2, with 1,3-dialkylimidazolinylidene (1) or 1,3-dialkylbenzimidazolinylidene (2) resulted in the formation of rhodium(I) 1,3-dialkylimidazolin-2-ylidene (3a-c) and 1,3-dialkylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene (4a, b) complexes. Triethylsilane reacts with acetophenone derivatives in the presence of catalytic amounts of RhCl(COD)(1,3-dialkylimidazolin-2-ylidene) or RhCl(COD)(1,3-dialkylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene) to give the corresponding silylethers in good yield (57-98%).
