Transcription
N-heterocyclic carbenes, or NHC, are key compounds that can be used as organocatalyst, as ligands, or as reactants. However, they are highly moisture-sensitive, which requires them to manipulated in a glove box. This procedure provides straightfor

We describe a protocol to photogenerate N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) by UV irradiation of a 2-isopropylthioxanthone/imidazolium tetraphenylborate salt system. Methods to characterize the photoreleased NHC and elucidate the photochemical mechanism are proposed. The protocols for ring-opening metathesis photopolymerization in solution and miniemulsion illustrate the potential of this 2-component NHC photogenerating system.
