NHC was found as a key catalytic species in thiamine diphosphate catalyzed biochemical reactions [1]. However, due to their inherent chemical instability, free NHCs had not been isolated until 1991 by Ardungo et al. [2]. Since then, the use of chiral NHC as a versatile organocatalyst has enjoyed tremendous advances and has helped to transform modem synthetic chemistry. There are over 2000 research papers dealing with both ＂N-heterocyclic carbene＂ and ＂Catalysis＂ in the past 15 years [3].展开更多

The versatility of named reactions in terms of monomer selection, solvent environment, reaction temperature, and post-modification permits the synthesis of sophisticated macromolecular structures under conditions where other reaction processes will not operate. In this review, we divided the named reactions employed in polymer-chain synthesis into three types: transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, metal-free cross-coupling reactions, and multi-components reactions. Thus, we focused our discussion on the progress in the utilization of these named reactions in polymer synthesis.展开更多
