An overview of N-heterocyclic carbenes [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2014
The successful isolation and characterization of an N-heterocyclic carbene in 1991 opened up a new class of organic compounds for investigation. From these beginnings as academic curiosities, N-heterocyclic carbenes today rank among the most powerful tools in organic chemistry, with numerous applications in commercially important processes.

N-Heterocyclic Carbenes as Organocatalysts

Angewandte Chemie - International Edition, 2007
AbstractOrganocatalyzed reactions represent an attractive alternative to metal‐catalyzed processes notably because of their lower cost and benign environmental impact in comparison to organometallic catalysis. In this context, N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have been studied for their ability to promote primarily the benzoin condensation.

N-Heterocyclic Carbenes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Over the last fifteen years, N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have mostly been used as ancillary ligands for the preparation of transition metal-based catalysts. Compared to phosphorus-containing ligands, NHCs tend to bind more strongly to metal centres, avoiding the necessity for the use of excess ligand in catalytic reactions.

N-Heterocyclic carbenes in gold catalysis [PDF]

open access: yesChemical Society Reviews, 2008
The appealing properties of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) as ancillary ligands and the high potential of gold as an organometallic catalyst have made their encounter inevitable. Still in its infancy, NHC-gold catalysis is nevertheless growing rapidly.

Are There Carbenes in N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Organocatalysis?

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2017
AbstractAzolium cations are widely employed in organocatalysis to catalyse highly valuable synthetic processes in the presence of a base. These reactions are called “N‐heterocyclic carbene catalysis”, based on the assumption that they are initiated by the formation of a free carbene through deprotonation, which can then react with the substrates and ...

N-Heterocyclic Carbenes

2016
Abstract This review tries to shed light on the early history of different methods for the generation of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), i.e., the extrusion of heterocumulenes (decarboxylations) from suitable mesomeric betaines, deprotonations of hetarenium salts, α-eliminations, tautomerizations of mesomeric betaines, and reductive desulfurizations ...

N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes

Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English, 1997
AbstractThe chemistry of N‐heterocyclic carbenes has long been limited to metal coordination compounds derived from azolium precursors, a development that was started by Öfele and Wanzlick in 1968. Since free carbenes are now available through the work of Arduengo (1991), a renaissance in this little‐recognized area of chemistry has occurred. A leading

N-Heterocyclic carbenes

Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 2000
Palladium(0) complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are easily obtained starting from the free carbene and bis(tri-orthotolylphosphine)palladium(0) by ligand exchange. The complexes [(R)N(H)CC(H)N(R)C ‚„„„„„„„„„” ]2Pd of various 1,3-disubstituted imidazolin-2-ylidenes have been prepared by this method (R mesityl, t-Bu, i-Pr, cyclohexyl).

N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes

2014
This chapter presents an overview of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as chemical species. The electronic characteristics of these ligands are discussed, detailing how pπ–pπ delocalization and σ electron withdrawal stabilizes the carbene center. The bonding to metal centers is also discussed, whereby the potential for σ donation, π donation, and π ...
