The term “N‐Heterocyclic carbene organocatalysis” is often invoked in organic synthesis for
reactions that are catalyzed by different azolium salts in the presence of bases. Although the …

N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are key intermediates in a variety of chemical reactions.
Owing to their transient nature, the interception and characterization of these reactive …

The reaction paths and intermediate structures related to the formation of the Breslow
intermediate and its oxidation along the oxidative/oxygenative lanes have been studied from …

Breslow intermediates (BIs) are the crucial nucleophilic amino enol intermediates formed
from electrophilic aldehydes in the course of N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)‐catalyzed …

In this work the mechanism of the aldehyde umpolung reactions, catalyzed by azolium
cations in the presence of bases, was studied through computational methods. Next to the …

A charge-tagged N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) has been synthesized and its utility in
allowing the dynamic behaviour of metal complexes to be monitored in real time using …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) catalyze Umpolung condensation reactions of carbonyl
compounds, including the Stetter reaction. These types of reactions have not heretofore …

A charge-tagged N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) has been synthesized and its utility in

An L-proline based catalyst with a charged phenyl-pyridium substituent (1) was used to
analyze intermediates of an organocatalyzed aldol reaction by infrared multi-photon …

As we know, there are many reports on the reactions of the Breslow intermediate with
electron-deficient alkenes or alkynes. However, the reactions with allenes are much less …
