TLDR
In this article, an improved synthesis of the title compounds was reported, and the N,N'-dialkylthioureas 1 with 3-hydroxy-2-butanone gave the imidazole-2(3H)-thiones 2 which on treatment with potassium in boiling tetrahydrofuran give the IMidazol-2ylidenes 3 in excellent yields

The N-heterocyclic carbene chemistry of transition-metal carbonyl clusters.

TL;DR: This critical review of the reactivity of NHCs (or their precursors) with transition-metal carbonyl clusters and on the transformations underwent by the NHC-containing species initially formed in those reactions, shows that the polynuclear character of these metallic compounds is responsible for reactivity patterns that have no parallel in the N-heterocyclic carbenes chemistry of mononuclear complexes.
