Discovered as organometallic curiosities in the 1970s, carbene radicals have become a
staple in modern-day homogeneous catalysis. Carbene radicals exhibit nucleophilic radical …

The isolation of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes (CAACs) and N, N′‐diamidocarbenes
(DACs) has opened up new avenues in the field of carbene chemistry due to their unique …

One of the most exciting scientific challenges today is the catalytic degradation of non‐
biodegradable polymers into value‐added chemical feedstocks. The mild pyrolysis of …

The high element abundance and d10 electron configuration make ZnII‐based compounds
attractive candidates for the development of novel photoactive molecules. Although a large …

Herein, we report the first catalytic methylation of primary amides using CO2 as a C1 source.
A bicyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (BICAAC) exhibits dual role by activating both primary …

Carbenes in general and isolable NHCs (N-heterocyclic carbenes) in particular have been
useful ligands in recent years. The emergence of CAACs [cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes] …

Bicyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (BICAAC) is introduced as a metal-free catalyst for the
reduction of various nitriles to the corresponding amine hydrochloride salts in the presence …

The sterically demanding N-heterocyclic carbene ITr (N, N′-bis (triphenylmethyl)
imidazolylidene) was employed for the preparation of novel trigonal zinc (II) complexes of …

The synthesis and reactivity of an air and water stable Bicyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene
(BICAAC) stabilized phosphenium cation (1) is reported. Air and water stable phosphenium …

A series of bicyclic alkylamino carbenes (BICAAC)(where N-aryl= dipp, mes, 2, 6-dimethyl-4-
(dimethylamino) phenyl, 5a–d) and their novel air-and moisture-resistant pyridine (pyridine …
