Efficient construction of carbon-nitrogen (C—N) bonds is a pivotal step in the synthesis of numerous nitrogen-containing bioactive molecules. Among various synthetic strategies, the palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig amination (BHA) reaction has emerged as a crucial method for building C—N bonds due to its mild conditions and broad substrate compatibility. Within this transformation, rational design of ligands plays a decisive role in reaction performance. Compared to traditional phosphine ligands, which are often sensitive to air and moisture and exhibit limited stability, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands possess strong σ-donating and weak π-accepting properties. The resulting NHC-Pd catalysts demonstrate excellent stability, tunable structures, and good functional group tolerance, significantly expanding the applicability of the BHA reaction. This review systematically summarizes the research progress of NHC-Pd complexes in this reaction over the past decade, including in situ generated NHC-Pd(0) types, well-defined NHC-Pd(II) types, and NHC-Pd(I) types. The design concepts, catalytic performance, and application examples in the synthesis of complex nitrogen-containing molecules are elaborated. Finally, challenges and future prospects in this field are discussed.
