Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysis

Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterocyclic carbene catalysis is a powerful process that has experienced rapid development. In particular, N-heterocycle carbenes (NHC), which have been applied in wide areas of organic synthesis. Their use in catalysis for the formation of new bonds via umpolung or non-umpolung mechanisms has developed in the last decade, involving several intermediates and allowing a fairly wide use of this type of catalysis. Recent applications have been reported in total natural synthesis with stereo and regioselectivity. We believe that the use of these intermediates or ligands will increase.
This Topic aims to review new methods and recent developments for the synthesis of complexes with heterocyclic carbene ligands and their use for the synthesis of various molecules of interest.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
