The asymmetric annulation of a range of α,β-unsaturated acyl ammonium intermediates, formed from isothiourea HBTM 2.1 and anhydrides with either 1,3-dicarbonyls, β-ketoesters or azaaryl ketones gives either functionalised esters (upon ring opening), dihydropyranones or dihydropyridones in good yields (up to 93%) and high enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee).
Chiral N-heterocycliccarbenecatalyzed annulations of ynals and enals with 1,3-dicarbonyls have been described. The two reactions provided direct and efficient methods for enantioselective synthesis of functionalized dihydropyranones. Comparatively, the reactions starting from ynals were atom-economical; furthermore the reactions of enals demonstrated broader substrate compatibility.

Simple and inexpensive polyhalides (CCl4 and C2Cl6) have been found to be effective and versatile oxidants in removing electrons from Breslow intermediates under N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis. This oxidative reaction involves multiple single‐electron‐transfer (SET) processes and several radical intermediates. The α, β, and γ‐carbon atoms of aldehydes and enals could be readily functionalized

mediated by N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) enables the direct β‐carbon functionalization of saturated aldehydes (see scheme). The reaction proceeds through two sequential oxidative steps to generate α,β‐unsaturated triazolium ester equivalents as formal Michael acceptors, which react with 1,3‐diketones and β‐ketone esters in an enantioselective manner.

An N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidative LUMO activation of the β-cabons of saturated carboxylic esters is disclosed. This approach allows for efficient asymmetric access to lactams and lactones by directly installing functional groups to the typically inert β-sp3 carbons of saturated esters. The use of HOBt as an additive was found to significantly improve both yields and enantioselectivities
