- addition; [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction; hydrosilylation reaction; N-heterocyclic carbenes; NHC–Cu complexes; NHC–Cu complexes as catalyst; Introduction N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are a neutral species having the carbene carbon atom as a part of the nitrogen heterocyclic ring. The transient
- employed for the preparation of numerous NHC–Cu complexes, requires the use of strong bases and rigorous inert conditions. However, an alternative method called transmetallation method has also been employed for the preparation of NHC–Cu(I) complexes by using NHC transfer reagents. For this purpose, NHC–Ag
