Reaction discovery using N-heterocyclic carbene organocatalysis has been dominated by the chemistry of acyl anion equivalents. Recent studies demonstrate that NHCs are far more diverse catalysts, with a variety of reactions discovered that proceed without acyl anion equivalent formation. In this tutorial review selected examples of acyl anion free NHC catalysis using carbonyl compounds are presented.
使用 N-杂环卡宾有机催化的反应发现一直以酰基阴离子等价物的化学为主导。最近的研究表明,NHC 是更为多样化的催化剂,发现了许多无需酰基阴离子等价物形成即可进行的反应。在本综述中,选择了一些使用羰基化合物的无酰基阴离子 NHC 催化的例子进行介绍。
