Singly and doubly oxidized carbenes and their applications in catalysis
Over the last three decades, the highly tunable properties of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and other stable singlet carbenes have led to a variety of applications. This perspective shows a novel facet of carbenes—i.e., their reductive properties—that allows them to function as catalysts in single-electron transfer (SET) reactions. The isolation and even the spectroscopic characterization of a singly oxidized carbene have yet to be done, but these species readily abstract hydrogen atoms while giving back the carbene conjugate acid, which behaves as the resting state of catalytic cycles. In sharp contrast, a doubly oxidized carbene has been isolated, and there is a strong likelihood that many other carbene dications will be isolated. Their first Lewis acidity is very high, suggesting possible applications in Lewis acid catalysis.
