Abstract Palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reaction is a very direct and efficient method for the formation of C—N bonds. The N-heterocyclic carbene-palladium complexes have the advantages of stable performance and high catalytic activity, and are high-efficient catalysts for the Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reactions. This article aimed to briefly introduce the research progress in this field during the past three years.
