Abstract

Previous work focused on (N-heterocyclic carbene) NHC catalysis has mainly centered on forming new chemical bonds and controlling stereoselectivity through electron-pair transfer processes. While these topics remain interesting and impactful, we envisioned that NHC catalysis can offer unique opportunities in radical chemistry and site-selective reactions of sophisticated molecules bearing multiple functional groups with similar reactivities.
