Streszczenie

Sterically-hindered N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with functionalized N-wingtips are a pivotal class of ligands in organic synthesis. Herein, we report the first class of sterically-hindered N-heterocyclic carbenes based on the indazole framework. These ligands combine the strong σ-donation of the carbene center due to the carbene placement at the C3-indazole position with the sterically-hindered and flexible N-substitution with the versatile 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)aryl moiety that extends beyond the metal centre for the first time in non-classical N-heterocyclic carbenes. The ligands are readily accessible by the rare Cadogan indazole synthesis of sterically-hindered N-aryl-1-(2-nitrophenyl)methanimines. Steric and electronic characterization as well as catalytic studies in the synthesis of oxazolines are described. Considering the unique properties of indazole-derived carbenes, we anticipate that this class of compounds will find broad application in organic synthesis and catalysis.
