Synergistic catalysis, a type of plural catalysis which utilizes at least two different catalysts to
enable a reaction between two separately activated substrates, has unlocked a plethora of …

In this contribution, we provide a comprehensive overview of C–H activation methods
promoted by NHC–transition metal complexes, covering the literature since 2002 (the year …

Great attention has been given to metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived solid bases
because of their attractive structure and catalytic performance in various organic reactions …

Despite the great potential of radical chemistry in organic synthesis, N‐heterocyclic carbene
(NHC)‐catalyzed reactions involving radical intermediates are not well explored. This …

The area of catalysis of radical reactions has recently flourished. Various reaction conditions
have been discovered and explained in terms of catalytic cycles. These cycles rarely stand …

Conspectus This Account is aimed at highlighting the recent developments in the N-
heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed generation of α, β-unsaturated acylazolium …

The successful isolation and characterization of an N-heterocyclic carbene in 1991 opened
up a new class of organic compounds for investigation. From these beginnings as academic …

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

First reported less than a decade ago, the α, β-unsaturated acyl azolium has emerged as a
central reactive intermediate for reaction discovery using N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis …

Spirooxindoles have become a privileged skeleton given their broad and promising
activities in various therapeutic areas. The strategies and catalyst systems described here …
