Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

Beginning as chemical curiosities with the pioneering work of Curtius, 1a Staudinger, 1b and
even earlier efforts, 1c carbenes have played an important role as transient intermediates …

Herein, we report a reaction that selectively generates 3-arylpyridine and quinoline motifs by
inserting aryl carbynyl cation equivalents into pyrrole and indole cores, respectively. By …

The chemistry of heterocyclic carbenes has experienced a rapid development over the last
years. In addition to the imidazolin‐2‐ylidenes, a large number of cyclic diaminocarbenes …

An important role in organometallic chemistry is predicted for N‐heterocyclic carbenes,
which are no longer laboratory curiosites but have developed into an industrially interesting …

Starting from glyoxal, 1, 3-diarylimidazolinium chlorides 3 were obtained in a three-step
sequence via the diimines (1) and ethylene diamine dihydrochlorides (2). Reduction of 1, 3 …

Abstract Die Chemie der heterocyclischen Carbene hat sich in den letzten Jahren stürmisch
entwickelt. Nach den Imidazolin‐2‐ylidenen wurden weitere cyclische Diaminocarbene mit …

The complete basis set method CBS-QB3 was used in conjunction with the CPCM solvation
model to predict both the absolute and relative p K a's of 12 nucleophilic carbenes in …

Silver (I)− 2, 6-bis (ethanolimidazolemethyl) pyridine hydroxide (4a) and silver (I)− 2, 6-bis (
propanolimidazolemethyl) pyridine hydroxide (4b) are water-soluble silver (I)− carbene …

Since the isolation and crystallographic characterization of the first stable N-heterocyclic
carbene in early 1991, 1 nucleophilic diaminocarbenes (also known as “Arduengotype” …
