Abstract
To disclose the reaction mechanism and selectivity in the NHC-catalyzed reaction of 2-bromoenal and 6-methyluracil-5-carbaldehyde, a systematic computational study has been performed. According to DFT computations, the catalytic cycle is divided into eight elementary steps: nucleophilic attack of the NHC on 2-bromoenal, 1,2-proton transfer, C-Br bond dissociation, 1,3-proton transfer, addition to 6-methyluracil-5-carbaldehyde, [2 + 2] cycloaddition, NHC dissociation, and decarboxylation. The Bronsted acid DABCO·H+ plays a crucial role in proton transfer and decarboxylation steps. The addition to 6-methyluracil-5-carbaldehyde determines both chemoselectivity and stereoselectivity, leading to R-configured carbocycle-fused uracil, in agreement with experimental results. NCI analysis indicates that the CH···N, CH···π, and LP···π interactions should be the key factor for determining the stereoselectivity. ELF analysis shows the main role of the NHC in promoting C-Br bond dissociation. The mechanistic insights obtained in the present work may guide the rational design of potential NHC catalysts.

Abstract
The stereoselective synthesis of spirocyclic pyrazolin-5-ones by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis has been less studied so far. For this reason and considering the interest of this class of compounds, here, we present the NHC-catalyzed [3 + 2]-asymmetric annulation of β-bromoenals and 1H-pyrazol-4,5-diones that achieves to produce chiral spiropyrazolone-butenolides. The synthesis is general for aryl and heteroaryl β-bromo-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and 1,3-disubstituted pyrazolones. The spirobutenolides have been obtained in good yields (up to 88%) and enantioselectivities (up to 97:3 er). This constitutes the first described example using pyrazoldiones as the starting materials for this class of spiro compounds.

Abstract
N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (NHC) are widely utilized in catalysis and material science. They are characterized by their steric and electronic properties. Steric properties are usually quantified on the basis of their static structure, which can be determined by X-ray diffraction. The electronic properties are estimated in the liquid state; for example, via the 77 Se liquid state NMR of Se-NHC adducts. We demonstrate that 77 Se NMR crystallography can contribute to the characterization of the structural and electronic properties of NHC in solid and liquid states. Selected Se-NHC adducts are investigated via 77 Se solid state NMR and X-ray crystallography, supported by quantum chemical calculations. This investigation reveals a correlation between the molecular structure of adducts and NMR parameters, including not only isotropic chemical shifts but also the other chemical shift tensor components. Afterwards, the liquid state 77 Se NMR data is presented and interpreted in terms of the quantum chemistry modelling. The discrepancy between the structural and electronic properties, and in particular the π-accepting abilities of adducts in the solid and liquid states is discussed. Finally, the 13 C isotropic chemical shift from the liquid state NMR and the 13 C tensor components are also discussed, and compared with their 77 Se counterparts. 77 Se NMR crystallography can deliver valuable information about NHC ligands, and together with liquid state 77 Se NMR can provide an in-depth outlook on the properties of NHC ligands.

Abstract
A computational study was contributed to explore the origin of stereoselectivity of NHC-mediated cyclization reaction between benzoic acid and o-phthalaldehyde for asymmetric construction of phthalidyl ester. The most energetically favorable pathway mainly includes the following steps: (1) nucleophilic attack on carbonyl carbon of o-phthalaldehyde by catalyst NHC, (2) formation of Breslow intermediate, (3) oxidation by DQ, (4) asymmetric formation of dual C-O bonds, and (5) dissociation of catalyst with the product. The C-O bond formation was testified as the stereoselectivity-determining step, the R-configurational pathway is more energetically favorable than the S-configurational one. The non-covalent interaction (NCI) and atom-in-molecule (AIM) analyses were performed to reveal that the O-H ⋅⋅⋅ O and C-H ⋅⋅⋅ O hydrogen-bond interactions are the key factors for controlling the stereoselectivity. The detailed mechanism and origin of stereoselectivity give useful insights for understanding organocatalytic reactions for asymmetric construction of C-O bond.

Abstract
Umpolung-based organocatalysis has made a remarkable breakthrough in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. Among a plethora of umpolung catalysts, bis(amino)cyclopropenylidenes (BACs) have emerged as efficient organocatalysts with potential applications in synthesizing numerous essential organic moieties. In this study, a plausible mechanism for bis(diethylamino)cyclopropenylidene (Et-BAC)-catalyzed synthesis of α,α'-diarylated ketones has been established using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The proposed catalytic cycle of the studied reaction initiates with the nucleophilic interaction of Et-BAC with p-chlorobenzaldehyde to form a zwitterionic intermediate, which is then transformed to a reactive Breslow intermediate. The Breslow intermediate further undergoes a chemoselective and stereoselective 1,6-conjugate addition reaction with p-quinone methide to form a new C-C bond connection. Finally, the generated adduct undergoes a proton shift reaction with the assistance of both 8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene (DBU) and protonated DBU to yield the desired product. Conceptual DFT-derived reactivity indices and frontier molecular orbital theory analysis have been successfully utilized to unravel the role of Et-BAC in this studied reaction. In addition to Et-BAC, DBU and protonated DBU also play a very important role in lowering the activation energy barrier of proton transfer steps. This investigation will help in the rational designing of simple nonheterocyclic carbene-mediated novel organic transformations.

Abstract
N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) belong to the popular family of organocatalysts used in a wide range of reactions, including that for the synthesis of complex natural products and biologically active compounds. In their organocatalytic manifestation, NHCs are known to impart umpolung reactivity to aldehydes and ketones, which are then exploited in the generation of homoenolate, acyl anion, and enolate equivalents suitable for a plethora of reactions such as annulation, benzoin, Stetter, Claisen rearrangement, cycloaddition, and C-C and C-H bond functionalization reactions and so on. A common thread that runs through these NHC catalyzed reactions is the proposed involvement of an enaminol, also known as the Breslow intermediate, formed by the nucleophilic addition of an NHC to a carbonyl group of a suitable electrophile. In the emerging years of NHC catalysis, enaminol remained elusive and was largely considered a putative intermediate owing to the difficulties encountered in its isolation and characterization. However, in the last decade, synergistic efforts utilizing an array of computational and experimental techniques have helped in gaining important insights into the formation and characterization of Breslow intermediates. Computational studies have suggested that a direct 1,2-proton transfer within the initial zwitterionic intermediate, generated by the action of an NHC on the carbonyl carbon, is energetically prohibitive and hence the participation of other species capable of promoting an assisted proton transfer is more likely. The proton transfer assisted by additives (such as acids, bases, other species, or even a solvent) was found to ease the kinetics of formation of Breslow intermediates. These important details on the formation, in situ detection, isolation, and characterization of the Breslow intermediate are scattered over a series of reports spanning well over a decade, and we intend to consolidate them in this review and provide a critical assessment of these developments. Given the central role of the Breslow intermediate in organocatalytic reactions, this treatise is expected to serve as a valuable source of knowledge on the same.

Abstract
The mechanism of N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed umpolung of β,γ-unsaturated α-diketone was studied using both density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental methods. In contrast to the originally proposed mechanism, the calculations revealed a more complicated process involving both nucleophilic O-acylated homoenolate and electrophilic α,β-unsaturated acyl azolium intermediates. The experimental studies confirmed the existence of the aforementioned two key intermediates. A revised mechanism has been proposed to demonstrate the detailed mechanistic insights into the product formation.

Abstract
The possible mechanisms and origin of selectivities in N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed reactions of an aliphatic ester with aminochalcone were studied using density functional theory. Herein, a general mechanistic map involving various types of possible intermediates was discovered, and the corresponding chemoselective pathways were systematically investigated. Based on the computational results, the most energetically favorable reaction pathway mainly involved in the following processes: formation of a homoenolate intermediate via α/β-H elimination, formal Michael addition of a homoenolate intermediate to aminochalcone, intramolecular aldol-type reaction, and ring closure to form the lactam product. Furthermore, the formal Michael addition process was shown to be the stereoselectivity-determining step, generating the RR-configured product preferentially. The chemoselectivity was successfully predicted by comparing the ω + N index of reacting ability for a nucleophile (N) and electrophile (E). This work would provide a general guideline for predicting chemoselectivity in NHC-catalyzed reactions.

Abstract
Generally, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexed with carbonyl compounds would transform into several important active intermediates, i.e., enolates, Breslow intermediates, or acylazolium intermediates, which act as either a nucleophile (Nu) or an electrophile (E) to react with the other E/Nu partner. Hence, the key to predicting the origin of chemoselectivity is to compute the activity (i.e., electrophilic index ω for E and nucleophilic index N for Nu) and stability of the intermediates and products, which are suggested in a general mechanistic map of these reactions. To support this point, we selected and studied different cases of the NHC-catalyzed reactions of carbonyl compounds in the presence of a base and/or an oxidant, in which multiple possible pathways involving acylazolium, enolate, Breslow, and α,β-unsaturated acylazolium intermediates were proposed and a novel index ω + N of the E and Nu partners was employed to exactly predict the energy barrier of the chemoselective step in theory. This work provides a guide for determining the general principle behind organocatalytic reactions with various chemoselectivities, and suggests a general application of the reaction index in predicting the chemoselectivity of the nucleophilic and electrophilic reactions. A novel index ω + N can be used to predict the chemoselectivity according to the general NHC-catalyzed reaction mechanism.![]()

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of glycine iminoesters with alkyl substituted 3-methylene-2-oxindoles is described. By using de novo design of P-stereogenic phosphines as ligands, spiro[pyrrolidin-3,3'-oxindole]s are generated in good to excellent yields with high asymmetric induction. A further reduced catalyst loading of 0.1 mol% is sufficient to achieve a satisfactory enantioselectivity of 90% ee. The DFT calculations suggest the second Michael addition of the 1,3-dipole to be the rate- and enantio-determining step. A key feature of this 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is the wide substrate applicability, even with alkyl aldehyde-derived azomethine ylide; thus it has streamlined a highly enantioselective access to a new class of antiproliferative agents, MDM2-p53.

Abstract
The present work focuses on a theoretical investigation of the plausible mechanism, determination of catalytically active species, and understanding of the regioselectivity in the InCl3-catalyzed cycloaddition of N-tosyl formaldimine with alkenes or allenes. InCl3 and InCl2+ coordinated by dichloroethane (InCl2+-DCE) were investigated as model catalytic systems. DFT data supported that InCl2+-DCE represent the plausible in situ generated catalytic species. The catalytic cycle starts from the coordination of N-tosyl formaldimine to InCl2+-DCE, generating an In-complexed iminium intermediate. This then undergoes intermolecular reaction (aza-Prins) with alkene substrate to form a carbocation intermediate, which is chemoselectively attacked by the second N-tosyl formaldimine molecule to form a formaldiminium intermediate. In a final step, this intermediate undergoes the ring closure, leading to hexahydropyrimidine along with the regeneration of catalyst. In addition, our DFT results indicate that N-tosyl formaldimine not only acts as a reactant but also accelerates the 1,3-H-shift as a proton acceptor, giving an experimentally observed allylamide product. Also, the "iminium/alkene/imine" path was supported by calculation results for diastereoselective [2 + 2 + 2] reaction using an internal alkene. Finally, the regioselectivity of the InCl3-catalyzed cycloaddition using allenes along with N-tosyl formaldimine was also analyzed.

Abstract
To understand the mechanism and origin of the stereoselectivity of the [3 + 2] annulation reaction between a carboxylic ester and an isatin generating spirooxindole lactone catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out. DFT results indicate that the catalytic cycle begins with the coupling of the catalyst with benzotriazole ester, followed by α-deprotonation to produce the enolate intermediate. The subsequent 1,4-proton transfer affords the homoenolate intermediate. The next crucial step is the stereoselective C-C bond formation. Then proton transfer takes place leading to the formation of the lactone intermediate. Finally, the elimination of the catalyst furnishes the final product. The presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) dramatically accelerates the proton transfer step. More importantly, HOBt has a non-negligible impact on stereoselective C-C bond formation, and the SR-configured product is the major stereoisomer of the annulation product, which is in good agreement with the experimental observations. The differential π⋯π stacking, C-H⋯π, lone pair (LP)⋯π and repulsion interactions are found to be responsible for the stereoselectivity. The obtained mechanistic insights should provide valuable information for understanding the important roles of the NHC catalyst and HOBt additive and be helpful for designing better NHC catalysts for this kind of reaction.

Abstract
Fluxional chiral DMAP-catalyzed kinetic resolutions of axially chiral biaryls were examined using density functional theory. Computational analyses lead to a revised understanding of this reaction in which the interplay of numerous non-covalent interactions control the conformation and flexibility of the active catalyst, the preferred mechanism, and the stereoselectivity. Notably, while the DMAP catalyst itself is confirmed to be highly fluxional, electrostatically driven π⋅⋅⋅π+ interactions render the active, acylated form of the catalyst highly rigid, explaining its pronounced stereoselectivity.
