The firstN-heterocyclic carbene-ligated coppper complex was made in the 90's and no more than a decade later,their potential as catalysts was uncovered. As the number of Cu NHC complexes continues to grow, so does the number of catalytic possibilities.
In theirCatalysis 新利手机客户端Science & TechnologyMini Review,Researchers,Egbert,CazinandNolanfrom the University of St Andrews have outlined the reactions which benefit from this neat little complex;from hydrosilylations to allylic substitutions and click 新利手机客户端chemistry.
