The gas phase reactivity of N-heterocyclic carbenes versus tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy3) is examined computationally and experimentally. New measurements indicate that dimethylimidazol- and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazol-2-ylidene are more basic than PCy3, in contrast to previous measurements made by us and by others. Proton-bound dimers of the carbenes and PCy3 are also found to exhibit interesting reactivity involving phosphine alkylation, cyclohexene elimination, and/or ethylene elimination. This novel reactivity is further probed and discussed. Copyright (C) 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
