The rate constants range from <1 × 104 to 8 × 104 M-1 s-1. They show little dependence on the electronic properties of the carbene core, but there is a trend for increasing rate constants with decreasing size of the carbene N-substituents. Two promising new reagents with small N-substituents (R = Me) have been identified. © 2010 American Chemical Society. date: 2010-07-02 date_type: published publication: Organic Letters volume: 12 number: 13 pagerange: 2998 - 3001 refereed: TRUE issn: 1523-7060 id_number: 10.1021/ol101014q pmid: 20536158 mesh_headings: Boranes--chemistry mesh_headings: Free Radicals--chemistry mesh_headings: Heterocyclic Compounds--chemistry mesh_headings: Hydrogen--chemistry mesh_headings: Kinetics mesh_headings: Methane--analogs & derivatives mesh_headings: Methane--chemistry mesh_headings: Molecular Structure mesh_headings: Stereoisomerism chemical_names: Boranes chemical_names: Free Radicals chemical_names: Heterocyclic Compounds chemical_names: Hydrogen chemical_names: carbene chemical_names: Methane citation: Solovyev, A and Ueng, SH and Monot, J and Fensterbank, L and Malacria, M and Lacôte, E and Curran, DP (2010) Estimated rate constants for hydrogen abstraction from n-heterocyclic carbene-borane complexes by an alkyl radical.
