N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable in many
research fields, and it is not possible to imagine modern transition metal and main group …

The Sonogashira reaction is a cross-coupling reaction of a vinyl or aryl halide with a terminal
alkyne to form a C–C bond. In its original form, the Sonogashira reaction is performed with a …

This review summarizes the recent progress in the field of S-functionalized N-heterocyclic
carbene ligands and their metal complexes. The syntheses of the azolium precursors and of …

Cross-coupling reactions involving metal carbene intermediates play an increasingly
important role in C–C bond formation. Expanding the carbene precursors to a broader range …
