1,3-Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolium chloride(CAT: M020938) is a bulky N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursor widely used in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. Upon deprotonation, it generates a strongly σ-donating, sterically demanding NHC ligand that stabilizes metal centers and enhances catalytic efficiency in cross-coupling, olefin metathesis, and hydrogenation reactions. The diisopropylphenyl substituents offer both electronic modulation and protection of the reactive carbene site, making it ideal for forming robust, highly active metal–carbene complexes. This compound is essential in ligand design, transition metal catalyst development, and the synthesis of air- and moisture-stable NHC-based systems in both academic and industrial applications.
