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.

Highly enantioselective [3+3] annulation reactions of bromoenals and 1,3-dicarbonylcompounds are reported. In addition, both enantiomers of the resultant dihydropyranone could be easily obtained by choosing N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with the same stereocenter but different substituents under the optimized reaction conditions.

Enantioselective N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed Michael addition reactions to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes by redox oxidation were realized. With 10 mol % of camphor-derived triazolium salt D, 15 mol % of DBU, 5 mol % of NaBF4, and 100 mol % of quinone oxidant, the reactions of various dicarbonyl compounds with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes led to 3,4-dihydro-α-pyrones in good yields and excellent ee’s

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
