Abstract

AbstractOxyallyl derivatives are typically elusive compounds. Even recently reported “stabilized” 1,3‐diaminooxyallyl species are still highly reactive and have short lifetimes at room temperature. Herein, we report the synthesis and preliminary study of mesoionic pyrimidine derivatives that feature 1,3‐bis(dimethylamino)oxyallyl patterns with an unprecedented level of stabilization. The latter are not only insensitive towards air and moisture, but they are also compatible with the formation of an ancillary stable N‐heterocyclic carbene moiety. As the oxyallyl pattern is proton‐responsive, it allows the reversible switching of the electronic properties of the carbene, as a ligand.
