Insights into the Three-Component Coupling Reactions of Aldehydes, Alkynes, and Amines Catalyzed by N-heterocyclic Carbene Silver: A DFT Study

Density functional theory (DFT) was used to investigate the three-component coupling reactions of aldehydes, alkynes, and amines (A3 coupling) using N-heterocyclic carbene silver as the catalyst. This study reveals that the addition reaction between the catalyst N-heterocyclic carbene silver and phe...
