13. 1,3-Bis-mesitylimidazolium chloride is commercially available from Strem. It can also be prepared according to the procedure described in Arduengo, A. J., III (E. I. Du Pont de Nemours & Company), US 5.077.414 A2, 1992; WO 91/14678.
14. In a typical procedure, anhydrous cobalt(II) acetate and the ligand were stirred at room temperature to form the active catalyst system, prior to the addition of the other reagents. This sequence of addition of ingredients proved to be important for the success of the method. For more detailed experimental procedures, see the Supporting Information.
