Participants

Reaction Steps

Lanthanum (III) iodide (1.0 g, 0.002 mol) was stirred in 50 mL of THF for 30 mins at room temperature. Potassium 2-tert-butyl-4,5-di-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)imidazolate (0.6 g, 0.002 mol) was added, and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 60 hours. THF was removed by vacuum, followed by hexane extraction, then filtration. The hexane was removed by vacuum, and the resulting solid was crystallized to isolate the final product.
