N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysis via Azolium Dienolates: An Efficient Strategy for Enantioselective Remote Functionalizations

Qiang Liu, Xiang-Yu Chen, Pankaj Chauhan, Dieter Enders
N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis has emerged as a powerful strategy in organic synthesis. In recent years a number of reviews have been published on NHC-catalyzed transformations involving Breslow intermediates, acyl azoliums, α,β-unsaturated acyl azoliums, homoenolate equivalents and azolium enolates. However, the azolium dienolate intermediates generated by NHCs have been employed in asymmetric synthesis only very recently, especially in cycloadditions dealing with remote functionalization. This Minireview highlights all the developments and the new advances in the NHC-catalyzed asymmetric cycloaddition resections involving azolium dienolate intermediates.
