Functionalization of aldehydes via N-heterocyclic carbene and base organic catalysts

In this thesis, direct and efficient functionalization of aldehydes with organocatalysts towards synthetic attractive molecules is presented. Chapter II describes the direct α-functionalization of simple aldehydes under oxidative NHC catalysis and the direct generation of ester enolates by using sim...
