Isolation of cyclic (alkyl) amino carbenes (cAACs) in 2005 has been a major achievement in
the field of stable carbenes due to their better electronic properties. cAACs and bicyclic …

Chiral ligands are of particular importance in asymmetric transition-metal catalysis. Although
the development of effective chiral monodentate N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) has been …

Discovered in 2005, cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes (CAACs) have led to numerous
discoveries in the field of ruthenium olefin metathesis, until then largely dominated by the …

New Blechert-type ruthenium complexes containing cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC)
ligands are reported. These catalysts demonstrate remarkable thermal stability in solution …

Ruthenium-based Hoveyda-type olefin metathesis catalysts bearing novel rigid spirocyclic
alkyl amino carbenes (CAACs) have been developed. They are characterized by …

Cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC) ligands are found to perturb regioselectivity of the
copper-catalyzed carboboration of terminal alkynes, favoring the less commonly observed …

The development of highly efficient enantioselective olefin metathesis catalysts is a
significant challenge. Using optically pure chiral cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (ChiCAAC) …

Recent progress in photoinitiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization (photoROMP) has
enabled the lithographic production of patterned films from olefinic resins. Recently, we …

Ruthenium‐mediated olefin metathesis has been widely applied for the synthesis of various
organic molecules and polymers. Inspired by the cocatalyst strategy for olefin …

A set of 16 chiral ruthenium complexes containing atropisomerically stable N‐Heterocyclic
Carbene (NHC) ligands was synthesized from prochiral NHC precursors. After a rapid …
