Abstract
Caught in the act: Diamino enols, diamino dienols, azolium enolates, and azolium enols are postulated intermediates of the N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed umpolung of aldehydes and enals. Several of these elusive reaction intermediates were generated with the saturated imidazolidin-2-ylidene SIPr (R=2,6-bis(2-propyl)phenyl) and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
