Abstract

In this communication, we report the use of aqueous ammonia as original conditions for the metalation of imidazol(in)ium ligands. This reaction, performed in homogenous conditions via a soluble silver-ammine complex is a rapid, scalable and often efficient access to silver-NHC complexes. Moreover, modification of the reported reaction conditions allowed the preparation of unprecedented heteroleptic NHC-Ag-phosphine in case of bulky IPr and SIPr ligands.
