Fluoro-functionalized polymeric N-heterocyclic carbene-zinc complexes: efficient catalyst for formylation and methylation of amines with CO2 as a C1-building block
A heterogeneous fluoro-functionalized polymeric N-heterocyclic carbene-zinc complex (F-PNHC-Zn) was designed and prepared for the formylation and methylation of N-methylanilines using CO2 as a C1 building block in the presence of organosilane.
