NHC-catalyzed hydroacylation of styrenes
Schedler, Michael,Wang, Duo-Sheng,Glorius, Frank
, p. 2585 - 2589 (2013)
New hydroacylation catalysts: Highly electron-rich N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) facilitate the intermolecular hydroacylation of unstrained olefins. This unprecedented organocatalytic coupling joins simple and abundant aldehydes and styrenes to yield valuable ketone products. EWG=electron-withdrawing group, EDG=electron-donating group. Copyright
