Development of novel chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes and synthetic studies towards the total synthesis of gephyronic acid

A-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are valuable ligands in catalysis. Their powerful a-donating and weak x-accepting properties allow stronger binding to the metal than phosphines and generate a class of air-stable electron-rich complexes that are highly active in several catalytic chemical reactions...
