Anionic NHC ligands recently developed in our group, derived from N-iminoimidazolium ylides, were used to synthesize NHC-iridium(III) complexes. Their catalytic activities were evaluated in the amine alkylation of anilines using borrowing hydrogen catalysis. The high-yielding synthesis of a small library of complexes allowed a rapid screening of the ideal steric bulk of the NHC unit and basicity of the anionic tether for the investigated model reaction. A bulky aromatic N group on the imidazolidene moiety is required to achieve high catalytic activity, and the latter is proportional to the basicity of the anionic group. A selected substrate scope of the reaction was performed, providing fair to excellent yields of the desired alkylated anilines.

A family of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands based on N-acyl iminoimidazolium ylides has been developed and investigated. The ylides are stable and are easily obtained in two steps. Following deprotonation, they form bidentate anionic NHC ligands. The synth
