N‐Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis has emerged as a powerful stratagem in organic
synthesis to construct complex molecules primarily by polarity reversal (umpolung) …

N‐Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis has been developed as an important
approach in modern organic synthesis. Versatile activation modes within NHC …

The umpolung strategy encompasses all the methods that make organic molecules react in
an inverse manner compared to their innate polarity-driven reactivity. This concept entered …

Catalytic reactions promoted by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have exploded in
popularity since 2004 when several reports described new fundamental reactions that …

While organocatalyzed domino reactions or “organocascade catalysis” developed into an
important tool in synthetic chemistry during the past decade, the utility of N‐heterocyclic …

This review highlights a number of additives that can be used to make asymmetric reactions
perfect. Without changing other reaction conditions, simply adding additives can lead to …

The stereocontrolled construction of chiral carbo-and heterocycles is a topic of paramount
importance in modern organic synthesis, driven by the predominance of chiral mono-and …

In the investigation of efficient chemical transformations, the carbon-carbon bond-forming
reactions play an outstanding role. In this context, organocatalytic processes have achieved …
