Abstract
An intramolecular N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed hydroacylation of unactivated double bonds is reported. Systematic variation of the catalyst structure revealed an N-mesitylthiazolylidene annulated with a seven-membered ring to be especially reactive. This NHC enables a unique C-C bond-forming reaction to afford substituted chroman-4-ones in moderate to excellent yields, even ones containing all-carbon quaternary centers.
