Template:Chembox Footer/trackingTemplate:Short description
IMes is an abbreviation for an organic compound that is a common ligand in organometallic chemistry. It is an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC). The compound, a white solid, is often not isolated but instead is generated upon attachment to the metal centre.[1]
First prepared by Arduengo,[2] the heterocycle is synthesized by condensation of 2,4,6-trimethylaniline and glyoxal to give the diimine. In the presence of acid, the resulting glyoxal-bis(mesitylimine) condenses with formaldehyde to give the dimesitylimidazolium cation. This cation is the conjugate acid of the NHC.[3][4]
Related compounds
Bulkier than IMes is the NHC ligand IPr (CAS 244187-81-3). IPr features diisopropylphenyl in place of the mesityl substituents.[5]
Some variants of IMes and IPr have saturated backbones, two such ligands are SIMes and SIPr.[1] They are prepared by alkylation of substituted anilines with dibromoethane followed by ring closure and dehydrohalogenation of the dihydroimidazolium salt.[6]
