Oxidative N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed γ-carbon addition of enals to imines: mechanistic studies and access to antimicrobial compounds

The reaction mechanism of the γ-carbon addition of enal to imine under oxidative N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis is studied experimentally. The oxidation, γ-carbon deprotonation, and nucleophilic addition of γ-carbon to imine were found to be facile steps. The results of our study also provide high...
