ChemInform Abstract: N‐Heterocyclic Carbene‐Catalyzed Diastereoselective and Enantioselective Reaction of 2‐Aroylvinylcinnamaldehydes with α,β‐Unsaturated Imines: Complete Control and Switch of Diastereoselectivity by N‐Substituents of Catalysts.

Abstract

AbstractAn interesting effect of the N‐substituent of the NHC‐catalyst on the selectivity of the cycloaddition of 2‐aroylvinylcinnamaldehydes with α,β‐unsaturated imines is reported.
