Abstract

Abstract The rapid and modular synthesis of the first bifunctional N-heterocyclic carbenes bearing a (thio) urea moiety as H-bond donor group was reported. Different analogues could be accessed in seven steps from cheap (S)-pyroglutamic acid in good overall yields (14- 30%). The synthesized carbenes were active catalysts in the benzoin reaction.
