N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed formation of β-anionic intermediates from enones has been employed in the enantioselective synthesis of 2-aryl propionates. The reaction was achievable using a homochiral 4-MeOC6H4 morpholinone cataly

Simple Stetter: A novel N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) was designed by combining an electron-rich 2,6-dimethoxy substituent and an underestimated yet promising chiral motif. With this NHC in hand, a highly enantioselective intermolecular Stetter reaction of simple acrylates was developed, yielding versatile α-chiral γ-ketoesters. This represents the first catalytic asymmetric route towards these valuable compounds (see scheme).
