Abstract

There has been a dramatic increase in the research of organocatalysts for various transformations in the past decade due to their environmental acceptability, high selectivity, and efficiency.[1] Among them, N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) derived from azolium salts have been employed as versatile organocatalysts in a broad range of chemical transformations including the benzoin condensation, the Stetter reaction, and the oxidative ...
