[en] A range of new imidazolium and imidazolinium chlorides bearing biphenyl units on their nitrogen atoms was synthesized. They differed by the electron-withdrawing or -donating nature and the steric bulk of the substituents on their aromatic rings. These various N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors were combined with the [RuCl2(p-cymene)](2) dimer and potassium tert-butoxide to generate the corresponding ruthenium-arene complexes [RuCl2(p-cymene)(NHC)] in situ. The catalytic activity of these species was investigated in the photoinduced ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of cyclooctene. The results obtained confirmed the necessity of blocking the ortho-positions of the phenyl rings in the vicinity of the metal center in order to attain high catalytic efficiencies. They also showed that changing the steric and electronic properties of the substituents on the remote phenyl rings of the biphenyl units had no significant influence on the outcome of the polymerization.

In a recent work on microwave-assisted synthesis of imidazolinium salts (A. Aidouni, A. Demonceau, L. Delaude, Synlett (2006) 493), we have shown that the presence of formic acid was not required to achieve high yields of cyclized products. The present study was, however, carried out under conventional heating conditions and we did not check that formic acid was indeed required, although we suspect that its presence might not be essential to the success of the reaction.
