As reported by Scheidt and Bode in 2005, sterically nonencumbered α,β-enals are readily converted to saturated esters in the presence of alcohols and N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts, e.g., benzimidazolylidenes or triazolylidenes. However, substituents at the α- or β-position of the α,β-enal substrate are typically not tolerated, thus severely limiting the substrate spectrum. On the basis of our earlier mechanistic studies, a set of N-Mes- or N-Dipp-substituted 1,2,4-triazolium salts were synthesized and evaluated as (pre)catalysts in the redox esterification of various α- or β-substituted enals. In particular the 1,4-bis-Mes/Dipp-1,2,4-triazolylidenes overcome the above limitations and efficiently catalyze the redox esterification of a whole series of α/β-substituted enals hitherto not amenable to NHC-catalyzed transformations. The synthetic value of 1,4-bis-Mes/Dipp-1,2,4-triazolylidenes is further demonstrated by the one-step bicyclization of 10-oxocitral to (racemic) nepetalactone in diastereomerically pure form.

α-Aroyloxyaldehydes are readily prepared bench stable synthetic intermediates. Their ability to act as α-haloaldehyde surrogates for NHC-promoted redox esterifications and in [4+2] cycloadditions is described.

This invention provides a convenient method for converting imines and other electrophiles into heterocyclic ring systems. The process does not require the use of metallic reagents, and is catalyzed by an organic heterocyclic carbene catalyst. Accordingly,
