摘要
(Chemical Equation Presented) A clean break: An N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzes the ring-opening of chiral non-racemic formylcyclopropanes, with simultaneous oxidation of the aldehyde function and without the need for stoichiometric reagents. The activated carboxylate intermediate is trapped by a variety of nucleophiles, thus leading to chiral esters, thioesters, or carboxylic acids (see scheme; DBU = 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, EWG = electron-withdrawing group, Nu = nucleophile.) © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
