摘要
The in situ observation, isolation and reversible formation of intermediate 3-(hydroxybenzyl) azolium salts derived from NHC addition to a range of substituted benzaldehydes is probed. Equilibrium constants for the formation of these 3-(hydroxybenzyl) azolium salts, as well as rate constants of hydrogen-deuterium exchange (k(ex)) at C(alpha) of these intermediates for a range of N-aryl triazolinylidenes is reported. These combined studies give insight into the preference of N-pentafluorophenyl NHCs to participate in benzoin and Stetter reaction processes.
