Reaction Steps

Cerium (III) iodide (2.0 g, 0.0038 mol) was stirred in 50 mL of dry THF for 30 mins at room temperature. Potassium 2-tert-butyl-4,5-di(1,1-dimethylpropyl)imidazolate (1.15 g, 0.0038 mol) was added, and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 90 hours. The solvent was removed by vacuum, followed by hexane extraction of the resulting solid. The hexane was removed by vacuum to yield the final product.
