NHC-catalyzed activation of aldehydes for asymmetric reactions

My study is mainly focused on the N-heterocyclic carbene catalytic activation of special aldehydes reactions. In this thesis, cis-enals and α-branched indole 3-carboxaldehydes were explored. cis-Enals with carbene could form cis-homoenolate intermediate which offer different stereo selectivities and...
