Abstract

We reported herein, the synthesis, and characterization of a series of Schiff base functionalized
N-heterocyclic carbene ionic salts, the synthesis involved the heating of the Schiff base and the
carbene moieties at 60 ⁰ C for 30 minutes. It does not involves the use of a solvent and all
products were isolated in
excellent yields between
95 and 98%. The
synthesized compounds
which are precursors to Nhetero
cyclic carbene
ligands were characterized
using spectroscopy.
