Persistent carbenes containing acetylenes: 4,5-dialkynylimidazol-2-ylidene

Abstract
A nucleophilic imidazole carbene featuring acetylene substituents in the 4- and 5-positions is prepared in three steps from dialkynyl diimines and is characterised by low temperature NMR spectroscopy and trapping reactions with MeI, CS2 and HgCl2.
