Conspectus This Account is aimed at highlighting the recent developments in the N-
heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed generation of α, β-unsaturated acylazolium …

N‐Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis has emerged as a powerful stratagem in organic
synthesis to construct complex molecules primarily by polarity reversal (umpolung) …

First reported less than a decade ago, the α, β-unsaturated acyl azolium has emerged as a
central reactive intermediate for reaction discovery using N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis …

This review highlights a number of additives that can be used to make asymmetric reactions
perfect. Without changing other reaction conditions, simply adding additives can lead to …

The highly enantioselective [5+ 2] annulation of enals with vinylethylene carbonates through
a cooperative N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)/Pd catalytic system is reported. The use of a …

This Concept article discusses the potential of oxidative carbene catalysis in synthesis and
comprehensively covers pioneering studies as well as recent developments. Oxidative …

A dual activation strategy integrating N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis and a second
Lewis base has been developed. NHC-bound homoenolate equivalents derived from α, β …

An oxidative γ-functionalization of enals under N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis to
give unsaturated δ-lactones is disclosed. Enantioselectivity control involving the relatively …

Hui Lv, Wen-Qiang Jia, Li-Hui Sun, and Song Ye* e-Lactones are privileged motifs occurring
in a wide variety of biologically active natural and unnatural products.[1] Therefore, the …
