Organocatalysis by N-Heterocyclic Carbenes
TL;DR: The inversion of the classical reactivity (Umpolung) opens up new synthetic pathways in biochemical processes as nucleophilic acylations and in nature, the coenzyme thiamine (vitamin B1), a natural thiazolium salt, utilizes a catalytic variant of this concept in biochemical process as nucleophile acylation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric intramolecular crossed-benzoin reactions by N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric Synthesis of Chromanones via N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Intramolecular Crossed-Benzoin Reactions
TL;DR: In this paper, the enantioselective synthesis of 3-hydroxy-4-chromanones bearing a quaternary stereocenter via an N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed intramolecular crossed-benzoin reaction is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thiazol-2-ylidene Catalysis in Intramolecular Crossed Aldehyde-Ketone Benzoin Reactions
Dieter Enders,Oliver Niemeier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an intramolecular crossed aldehyde-ketone benzoin-type reactions catalyzed by nucleophilic carbenes, easily generated from commercially available thiazolium salts as precatalysts, are described.
