Herein, we present the first example of synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyran-2-ones from cinnamic thioesters via a stereoselective phase-transfer-catalyzed domino Michael-cyclization reaction with acetylacetone. The reaction proceeded under the catalysis of Cinchona-derived quaternary ammonium phenoxide that, in combination with inorganic bases, provided 3,4-dihydropyran-2-ones in yields of up to 93% and enantioselectivities of up to 88% enantiomeric excess.

The first activation of saturated acid chlorides by oxidative N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis has been successfully utilized to synthesize enantio-enriched spirooxindole lactones and δ-lactones. The reaction involves the transformation of the β sp3 carbon of saturated acid chlorides into an electrophilic carbon as a key step. The product was obtained in excellent yield and stereoselectivity.

In N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) based organocatalysis, usually, the free carbene is generated in situ by treatment of the azolium salt with a base. Described herein is a method for the analysis of the NHC present in the reaction flask after the NHC-organocatalyzed reaction. For this, the reaction mixture was treated with elemental sulfur after the reaction and the thus-formed thiourea/thione derivative was isolated. Common NHC-catalyzed transformations such as benzoin reactions, Stetter reactions, homoenolate annulation reactions, and reactions proceeding via the α,β-unsaturated acylazolium intermediate have been studied. The results indicate that after the reactions, 28–84 % of the initial carbenes exist in the free form.
