An efficient N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed sulfa-Michael addition (SMA) between enals and thiols has been developed. Under the catalysis of 10 mol% stable free carbene IPr and with 20 mol% hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as an additive, enals react with a variety of thiols to afford the SMA adducts in 54-98% yields. In this process, the free carbene preferentially interacts with thiols through hydrogen-bonding and no NHC-catalyzed extended Umpolung transformations were observed.

Chemical Equation Presented Cleared up! Intermolecular alkyne hydroacylation represents a new addition to the range of transition- metalcatalysed hydroacylation reactions that can be performed in an enantioselective manner. By using a kinetic resolution procedure, both racemic α- and βsubstituted aldehydes can be converted into the corresponding enantiomerically enriched substituted enone products (see scheme).

The use of β-S-substituted aldehydes in rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular hydroacylation reactions is reported. Aldehydes substituted with either sulfide or thioacetal groups undergo efficient hydroacylation with a variety of electron-poor alkenes, such as enoates, in Stetter-like processes and with both electron-poor and neutral alkynes. In general, the reactions with electron-poor alkenes demonstrate good selectivity for the linear regioisomer, and the reactions with alkynes provide enone products with excellent selectivity for the E-isomers. The scope of the process was shown to be broad, tolerating a variety of substitution patterns and functional groups on both reaction components. A novel CN-directing effect was shown to be responsible for reversing the regioselectivity in a number of alkyne hydroacylation reactions. Catalyst loadings as low as 0.1 mol % were achievable.
