N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalysed Mukaiyama–Michael Reaction and Mukaiyama Aldol/Mukaiyama–Michael Three-Component Coupling Reaction
Keyword(s):
An N-heterocyclic carbene-catalysed Mukaiyama–Michael addition between several trimethylsilyl (TMS) enol ethers and chalcone derivatives has been discovered. In addition, a related reaction cascade involving dehydrative Mukaiyama aldol followed by a Mukaiyama–Michael addition process has been developed. The later reaction can also be achieved as a three-component coupling reaction. The enantioselective variant of these reactions has been examined with homochiral catalysts. Though these catalysts were active, they fail to achieve enantioinduction.
