N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis to promote so-called umpolung reactions has emerged as a powerful tool for modern organic synthesis. NHC-bound nucleophiles known as Breslow intermediates can be obtained by reacting an NHC catalyst with an aldehyde and will add to carbon-heteroatom or carbon-carbon double bonds. On the other hand, the substitution-type crosscouplings of carbon electrophiles (that is, R-X species) with NHC-bound nucleophiles to generate carbon-carbon bonds have also been demonstrated even though such processes are difficult and less mature at present. This Perspective briefly summarizes the NHC-based catalysis enabling cross-coupling reactions. Three types of systems are examined: anionic, hybrid, and radical catalysis.
