ABSTRACT
The dimerization of a saturated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) to tricyclic piperazine in preference to the commonly observed Wanzlick dimerization is presented. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the N-fluorene substituent of the heterocycle is implicated in both ring opening of corresponding carbene dimer and tautomerization of NHC to an azomethine ylide. This has consequences for the fate of the NHC when generated from either an azolinium salt or a pentafluorophenyl adduct. The insights gained permitted the synthesis of a new indenylidene metathesis precatalyst, which exhibits exceptional selectivity and high TONS in self-metathesis of 1-octene.
