Discovered in 2005, cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes (CAACs) are among the most nucleophilic (sigma donating) and also electrophilic (pi-accepting) stable carbenes known to date. These properties allow them to activate a variety of small molecules and enthalpically strong bonds, to stabilize highly reactive main-group and transition-metal diamagnetic and paramagnetic species, and to bind strongly to metal centers, which gives rise to very robust catalysts. The most important results published up to the end of 2013 are briefly summarized, while the majority of this Review focuses on findings reported within the last three years.
