Journal ArticleDOI

Cooperative N-heterocyclic carbene/Lewis acid catalysis for highly stereoselective annulation reactions with homoenolates.

TL;DR: A new approach that takes advantage of N-heterocyclic carbene/Lewis acid cooperative catalysis provides access to cis-1,3,4-trisubstituted cyclopentenes from enals and chalcone derivatives with high levels of diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lewis Acid Activated Synthesis of Highly Substituted Cyclopentanes by the N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Addition of Homoenolate Equivalents to Unsaturated Ketoesters†

TL;DR: The use of a Lewis acid is reported as an essential component for an NHC-catalyzed annulation of enals with a new class of electrophiles that fail as competent substrates when only NHCs are used.
Journal ArticleDOI

NHC-catalyzed/titanium(IV)-mediated highly diastereo- and enantioselective dimerization of enals

TL;DR: An NHC-catalyzed, diastereo- and enantioselective dimerization of enals has been developed and the use of Ti(Oi-Pr)(4) is a key element for the reactivity and selectivity of this process.
