TLDR
In this paper, the annulation of allenoates and two molecules of trifluoromethylketone was found under the condition of N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis.
Abstract
In contrast with the reported phosphine- and DABCO-catalyzed [3+2] and [2+2] annulation of allenoates with trifluoromethylketone, the [2+2+2] annulation of allenoates and two molecules of trifluoromethylketone was found under the condition of N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis.

N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed reactions of C–C unsaturated bonds

TL;DR: This work has demonstrated that NHC-catalyzed reactions of C-C unsaturated bonds are feasible, including the umpolung of Michael acceptors, the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction, and the annulation reactions of vinyl sulfones, nitroalkenes, allenoates and alkynes.

Asymmetric, Three-Component, One-Pot Synthesis of Spiropyrazolones and 2,5-Chromenediones from Aldol Condensation/NHC-Catalyzed Annulation Reactions

TL;DR: A novel one-pot, three-component diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of spiropyrazolones has been developed involving the aldol condensation of an enal to generate α,β-unsaturated pyrazolons, which react with a second equivalent of enal through an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) annulation.

Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of 2‐Alkyleneoxetanes through [2+2] Annulation of Allenoates with Trifluoromethyl Ketones

TL;DR: The first β-isocupreidine (β-ICD)-catalyzed highly enantioselective [2+2]-annulation of allenoates with trifluoromethyl ketones has been disclosed, allowing the synthesis of optically active 2-alkyleneoxetanes in moderate to good yields along with good to high enanti-lectivities and high diastereoselectivities as discussed by the authors.

Synthesis of Trifluoromethyl Ketones via Tandem Claisen Condensation and Retro-Claisen C–C Bond-Cleavage Reaction

TL;DR: A highly efficient, operationally simple approach to trifluoromethyl ketones has been developed that builds on the use of a tandem process involving Claisen condensation and retro-Claisen C-C bond cleavage reaction.

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.

Nucleophilic carbenes in asymmetric organocatalysis.

TL;DR: After a long and difficult search, stable carbenes are finally isolated, characterized, and in the chemist's hands, and the experiments of decades have finally resulted in successful enantioselective benzoin condensations and enantiOSElective intramolecular Stetter reactions.

Reactions of electron-deficient alkynes and allenes under phosphine catalysis.

TL;DR: This study illuminates the unusual phenomena and shows how understanding of the central problem to generate a 1,3-dipole from alkynoates or allenoates by interaction with various phosphines allows control of the reaction.
