It was only in the early 1990s that carbenes with the carbene
carbon being incorporated in a nitrogen containing heterocycle
(N-heterocyclic carbenes or NHCs) were found to be stable enough to
be isolated. Since the first report on the application of NHCs as
ligands in transition metal catalysis in 1995, NHC have found
numerous applications and have been established as a versatile and
indispensable class of ligands. For many reactions like metathesis
or cross-coupling reactions NHCs have often become the ligands of
choice, allowing otherwise difficult transformations. In this book
leading experts have surveyed major areas of application of NHC
metal complexes in catalysis. The authors have placed a special
focus on nickel- and palladium-catalyzed reactions, on applications
in metathesis reactions, on oxidation reactions and on the use of
chiral NHC-based catalysts. This compilation is rounded out by an
introductory chapter and a chapter dealing with synthetic routes to
NHC metal complexes. The use of NHC as ligands in catalysis has
reached a certain level of maturity and this book allows the reader
to get a balanced view of this increasingly important ligand
class.
