N‑Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Radical Reactions for Highly Enantioselective β‑Hydroxylation of Enals

An N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed β-hydroxylation of enals is developed. The reaction goes through a pathway involving multiple radical intermediates, as supported by experimental observations. This oxidative single-electron-transfer reaction allows for highly enantioselective access to β-hydroxyl...

description An N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed β-hydroxylation of enals is developed. The reaction goes through a pathway involving multiple radical intermediates, as supported by experimental observations. This oxidative single-electron-transfer reaction allows for highly enantioselective access to β-hydroxyl esters that are widely found in natural products and bioactive molecules.
