Due to their unique properties, N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have attracted a lot of attention from the synthetic community. In addition to their widespread use as ligands for transition metals, they have been shown to act as catalysts in their own right. A remarkable feature of NHC catalysts is their ability to effect a reversal of reactivity (umpolung) for aldehydes. Whereas aldehydes normally react as electrophiles, they can behave as acyl anion equivalents in the presence of NHCs.

N-杂环卡宾(NHCs)由于其独特的性质引起了合成界的广泛关注。除了它们被广泛用作过渡金属的配体外，它们本身也被证明是催化剂。NHC催化剂的一个显着特征是它们能够实现醛的反应活性(Upolung)的逆转。虽然醛通常作为亲电体反应，但在NHCS存在下，它们可以表现为酰基阴离子的等价物。
