It has been previously demonstrated that stable singlet electrophilic carbenes can behave as metal surrogates in the activation of strong E-H bonds (E = H, B, N, Si, P), but it was believed that these activations only proceed through an irreversible activation barrier. Herein we show that, as is the case with transition metals, the steric environment can be used to promote reductive elimination at carbon centers.
Stable cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes as rigid or flexible, bulky, electron-rich ligands for transition-metal catalysts: A quaternary carbon atom makes the difference

(Chemical Equation Presented) Like NHCs? Not quite: Cyclic (alkyl)-(amino)carbenes (CAACs) are strong σ-donors and have steric environments that differ dramatically from those of bulky, electron-rich phosphines (A) and cyclic diaminocarbenes (B). These re
