N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Promoted Rauhut–Currier Reactions between Vinyl Sulfones and α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) promote the addition of 1,1-bis(phenylsulfonyl)ethylene to the α-position of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The proposed reaction pathway for this Rauhut-Currier-type reaction includes an unusual conjugate addition of an NHC to a bis-vinyl sulfone.
