Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic Selective Synthesis
TL;DR: By collecting and highlighting examples of selective catalysis, it is hoped that the field will be encouraged by the progress that has been made while bringing attention to unmet needs in the design and mechanistic understanding of selective catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Enantioselective Claisen Rearrangement Catalyzed by N-Heterocyclic Carbenes
TL;DR: Investigations demonstrate that the counterion of the azolium salt plays a key role in the formation of the catalytically active species in the synthesis of enantioenriched kojic acid derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enantioselective, NHC‐Catalyzed Annulations of Trisubstituted Enals and Cyclic N‐Sulfonylimines via α,β‐Unsaturated Acyl Azoliums
TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend the scope of highly enantioselective NHC-catalyzed reactions and offer, for the first time, the opportunity for highly enantio- and diasterelective annulations of α- and β,β′-substituted enals.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of the N-mesityl group in NHC-catalyzed reactions
TL;DR: The N-mesityl group is to render the initial addition of the NHC to the aldehyde irreversible, thereby accelerating the formation of the Breslow intermediate and rationalize the experimentally observed catalyst preference for all classes of NHC-catalyzed reactions of aldehydes and provide a roadmap for catalyst selection and design.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Enantioselective Claisen Rearrangement Catalyzed by N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes.
TL;DR: In the presence of a chiral azolium salt, enols and ynals undergo a highly enantioselective annulation reaction to form enantiomerically enriched dihydropyranones via an N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed variant of the Claisen rearrangement.
