Abstract
While the enantioselective Rauhut-Currier reaction is established with bis(enone) substrates, it is yet to be reported with less electrophilic bis(enoate) substrates. By exploiting high-nucleophilicity N-heterocyclic carbenes, it is possible to achieve Rauhut-Currier reactions with these substrates. The reaction is demonstrated with a range of intramolecular reactions (20 examples) and six esterification/RC reaction cascades, which all proceed with high enantioselectivity (most >93:7 er).
