N-Alkylation and N-Methylation of Amines with Alcohols Catalyzed by Nitrile-Substituted NHC-Ir(III) and NHC-Ru(II) Complexes.

ABSTRACT: A series of nitrile-modified N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of Ir(III) (2a-e) and Ru(II) (3a-d) have been prepared by transmetallation of [IrCp*Cl₂]₂ and [RuCl₂(p-cymene)]₂ forming an in situ NHC-Ag complex. The structures of all complexes were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopies. And the structures were clearly elucidated by performing X-ray diffraction studies on 2b, 3a, and 3c single crystals. The complexes of NHC-Ir(III) (2a-e) and NHC-Ru(II) (3a-d) were investigated in the N-alkylation reaction of aniline derivatives with benzyl alcohols to form N-ben
