Article Abstract
N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) metal complexes have gained an incredible amount of attention in the course of the last two decades and have become indispensable as an intricate part of a plethora of applications. The areas of their synthesis and derivatization are constantly evolving and bring new, more sustainable, cost-effective and simpler approaches to the design of existing and next generation catalysts and materials. This article provides an overview of the latest developments, focusing on those which have appeared during the last two years.

A copper-catalyzed 1,4-alkylcyanation of CF-containing 1,3-enynes with bicyclic hydroperoxides and TMSCN is described. In this cascade, the alkyl source originates from selective cleavage of a C-C bond in the fused bicyclic skeletons, enabling the successful introduction of a succinimide fragment into tetrasubstituted allenes. This reaction is characterized by mild conditions, broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, and ease of large-scale synthesis and product derivatization.

An iron(III)-catalyzed methanesulfonic-acid-mediated [3 + 2 + 1C] annulation of enaminones assembling a 1,2-dihydropyridine (1,2-DHP) scaffold has been developed for the first time. This approach facilitates the rapid synthesis of 2-hydroxy-1,2-DHP derivatives in moderate to excellent yields with a broad substrate scope under mild conditions. The employment of 1,3-dioxolane as both a 1C synthon and solvent enables simultaneous incorporation of both a carbon atom and a hydroxy group into 1,2-DHPs.
