Abstract

Synthesis of guanidine-linked NHC can be achieved easily through reacting amino-NHC with carbodiimide. Subsequently, guanidine-NHC Ag and Cu complexes were isolated and fully characterized. These Cu complexes are found to be versatile catalysts for hydroboration, semihydrogenation and carboboration of alkynes in a highly stereo- and regioselective fashion.
