N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed [3+4] cycloaddition and kinetic resolution of azomethine imines

The first N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed [3+4] cycloaddition of azomethine imines and enals is disclosed. Oxidative catalytic remote activation of enals affords 1,4-dipolarophile intermediates that react with 1,3-dipolar azomethine imines to generate dinitrogen-fused seven-membered heterocyc...
