N,N'-bis(2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-methoxyphenyl)imidazolium chloride

N,N'-bis(2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-methoxyphenyl)imidazolium chloride is also known as1,3-Bis(2,6-Dibenzhydryl-4-Methoxyphenyl)-1H-Imidazol-3-Ium Chloride or IPr*OMe·HCl. It is a derivative of IPr*(1,3-bis(2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-methylphenyl)imidazo-2-ylidene). IPr* and its derivatives have been shown to be helpful for the stabilization of catalytically active species.
