The emergence of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands across the Periodic Table had an
impact on various aspects of the coordination, organometallic, and catalytic chemistry of the …

Although the chemistry of copper has a long history [1a-d], the relatively recent discovery of
N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) as transition-metal supporting ligands has permitted novel …

This comprehensive reference and handbook covers in depth all major aspects of the use of
N-heterocyclic carbene-complexes in organic synthesis: from the theoretical background to …

A method for the regiodivergent arylboration of dienes is presented. These reactions allow
for the formation of a diverse range of synthetically versatile products from simple …

Copper is emerging as a viable catalytic metal for cross-coupling reactions to construct
carbon–carbon (C–C) bonds. Recent revelations that Cu-catalysts can execute with high …

N-Heterocyclic carbene ligated copper complexes act as catalysts in a variety of reactions. A
brief overview of this rich chemistry is given here. Of particular note is the ability of Cu (NHC) …

The transformations of cyclopropenes have attracted the attention of organic chemists for
decades. As readily accessible strained carbocycles, cyclopropenes show a diverse range …

A method for the regioselective arylboration of isoprene and its derivatives is presented.
These reactions allow for the synthesis of useful building blocks from simple components …

An efficient CuI-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction was developed for the coupling of aryl-
and heteroarylboronate esters with aryl and heteroaryl iodides at low catalyst loadings (2 …

Organosilanes have become a mainstay in organic synthesis as they can participate in a
wide number of reactions where they act as a soft carbon nucleophile. They can engage in …
