Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter summarizes the recent advances of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed reactions of homoenolate and enolate intermediates. Formation of the earlier intermediates via NHC activation of a series of substrates is described, and the reactions of these two intermediates with various electrophiles are the focus of discussion.
