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
Abstract
An improved synthesis of the title compounds is reported. Reaction of the N,N'-dialkylthioureas 1 with 3-hydroxy-2-butanone gives the imidazole-2(3H)-thiones 2 which on treatment with potassium in boiling tetrahydrofuran give the imidazol-2-ylidenes 3 in excellent yields

N-Heterocyclic Carbenes

TL;DR: This chapter presents an overview of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as chemical species, detailing how pπ–pπ delocalization and σ electron withdrawal stabilizes the carbene center.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cleavage of a P=P Double Bond Mediated by N-Heterocyclic Carbenes.

TL;DR: The mechanism for the double bond-breaking is proposed to proceed via the formation of the NHC-coordinated, highly polarized diphospehenes 3 as an intermediate.

N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Carbodiimide ("NHC-CDI") Adduct or Zwitterionic-Type Neutral Amidinate-Supported Magnesium(II) and Zinc(II) Complexes.

TL;DR: Compounds 1-7 were characterized by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray structural analysis and density functional theory calculations have been carried out to obtain the energetics of zwitterion-supported lithium and magnesium complexes.

Tuning the Si-N Interaction in Metalated Oligosilanylsilatranes.

TL;DR: The current study features silylated silatranes with a range of electropositive elements attached to the silyl group, and the bis(trimethylsilyl)silatranylsilyl unit was studied as a substituent for disilylated germylene adducts.
