Abstract

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and their palladium complexes have been developed to facilitate the formation of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds.[1] NHC complexes exhibit unique chemical properties such as strong Pd–NHC σ bonding, which enhances the stabilities of active organometallic compounds relative to conventional phosphane complexes.[2] Moreover, chiral NHC ligands have been synthesized to promote ...
