Abstract:A library of functionalized pyrrolidine‐based triazolium salts containing a BF4 counterions have been prepared from readily accessible 2‐pyrolidinone via one‐pot reaction protocol. By separating imine‐ether intermediates, a detailed mechanistic pathway has been investigated. Studied mechanistic investigation improved the synthetic process, resulting in higher yields for pyrrolidine‐based triazolium NHC structures and the large‐scale synthesis of chiral NHCs pre‐catalyst with free OH‐group. The presence of a hy… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
