Abstract
AbstractA series of supported N‐heterocyclic carbene silver complexes (NHC‐Ag(I)) were prepared and characterized as catalysts for the borono‐Minisci reaction. After characterization, the synthesized catalysts were evaluated in batch mode to determine the reaction performance and kinetics. Interestingly, cyclic voltammetric analysis showed that the structure of both the complex and the ligand significantly influences the Ag(I)/Ag(II) redox potential and, in turn, the catalytic efficiency. Among the tested catalysts, the Si‐supported NHC‐Ag(I) 6 afforded the desired products in good to excellent yields in only 15 min, providing a complementary tactic to standard homogeneous approaches.
