Abstract
α-Phenylthioaldehydes are readily prepared using a simple multi-step procedure and herein are introduced as a new precursor for the NHC-catalysed generation of acyl azolium and azolium enolate intermediates that are of widespread synthetic interest and utility. Treatment of α-phenylthioaldehydes with an NHC precatalyst and base produces an efficient redox rearrangement via a Breslow intermediate, elimination of thiophenolate, and subsequent rebound addition to the generated acyl azolium to give the corresponding thiol ester. In the presence of an external alcohol, competition between redox rearrangement and redox esterification can be controlled through judicious choice of the N-aryl substituent within the NHC precatalyst and the base used in the reaction. With NEt3 as base, NHCs bearing electron-withdrawing (N-C6F5 or N-C6H2Cl3) substituents favour redox rearrangement, while triazolium precatalysts with electron-rich N-aryl substituents (N-Ph, N-Mes) result in preferential redox esterification. Using DBU, redox esterification is preferred due to transesterification of the initially formed thiol ester product. Additionally, α-phenylthioaldehyde-derived azolium enolates have been used in enantioselective formal [4 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions to access dihydropyridinone heterocycles with high enantioselectivity (up to >95 : 5 dr, 98 : 2 er).

Abstract
The activation of an ester by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis is an efficient and important approach for generating an NHC-bound enolate intermediate, an important active intermediate in the transformation of carbonyl compounds. Herein, we perform a theoretical study on the NHC-catalyzed activation and transformation reaction of an acetic ester in which the NHC-bound enolate intermediate is a key intermediate. Multiple activation and transformation pathways are proposed and analyzed to identify an energetically favorable pathway. The use of different substrates for the reaction is considered. When a chalcone substrate is used, [4+2] cycloaddition between the enolate intermediate and the chalcone is identified to be both the rate- and stereoselectivity-determining step for the reaction, with the R-configured product being generated as the major isomer. Noncovalent interaction (NCI) and atoms-in-molecules (AIM) analyses are performed to identify the origin of the stereoselectivity of the reaction, and a local reactivity analysis is conducted to explore substrate and catalyst effects on the reaction.

Abstract
The catalytic generation of C(1)-ammonium enolates from the corresponding α-silyl-α-alkyl substituted carboxylic acids using the isothiourea HyperBTM is reported. This desilylative approach grants access to α-unsubstituted and α-alkyl substituted C(1)-ammonium enolates, which are typically difficult to access through traditional methods reliant upon deprotonation. The scope and limitations of this process is established in enantioselective [2+2]-cycloaddition processes with perfluoroalkylketones (31 examples, up to 96 % yield and >99 : 1 er), as well as selective [2+2]-cycloaddition with trifluoromethyl enones (4 examples, up to 75 % yield and >99 : 1 er). Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate this process proceeds through an initial kinetic resolution of an in situ prepared (±)-α-silyl-α-alkyl substituted anhydride, while the reaction process exhibits overall pseudo zero-order kinetics.

Abstract
While the addition of C1‐Lewis base enolates to carbonyls and related structures are well established, the related addition to thiocarbonyls compounds are unknown. Herein, we report a reaction cascade in which a C1‐pyridinium enolate undergos addition to dithioesters, trithiocarbonates and xanthates. The reaction provides access to a range of dihydrothiophenes and dihydrothiopyrans (28‐examples). Mechanistic investigations, including isolation of intermediates, electronic correlation, and kinetic isotope effect studies support the viability of an activated acid intermediate giving rise to the C1‐pyridinium enolate which undergoes turnover limiting cyclization. Subsequent formation of a β‐thiolactone regenerates the catalyst with loss of carbon oxysulfide providing the observed products.

Abstract
Azolium enolates and acyl azolium cations have been proposed as intermediates in numerous N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed transformations. Acetyl azolium enolates were generated from the reaction of 2‐propenyl acetate with both saturated (SIPr) and aromatic (IPr) NHCs, isolated, and characterized (NMR, XRD). Protonation with triflic acid gave the corresponding acetyl azolium triflates which were isolated and characterized (NMR, XRD). Acyl azolium cations have been proposed as immediate precursors of the ester product, for example, in the redox esterification of α,β‐enals. Studies with d3‐acetyl azolium triflate suggest that ester formation originates instead from an azolium enolate intermediate. Furthermore, the acetyl azolium enolate selectively reacted with alcohol nucleophiles in the presence of amines. While the acetyl azolium cation did not react with alcohols, an ester‐selective reaction was induced by addition of base, by intermediate formation of the acetyl azolium enolate.

An enantioselective catalytic synthesis of α-acetoxylated ketones through I(I)/I(III) catalysis using a resorcinol/lactamide-based chiral iodoarene is reported. Catalyst turnover by in situ generation of the active iodine(III) derivative is achieved by oxidation with mCPBA in the presence of acetic acid. The prior transformation of ketones to easily accessible acetyl enol ethers is beneficial and yields up to 97 % with enantioselectivities up to 88 % ee are obtained using only low catalyst loadings of only 5 mol % under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
In nature, enzymes are a powerful medium for the construction of enantiomerically pure chemicals, which always inspires synthetic chemists to explore new catalysts to imitate the enzyme machinery for asymmetric transformations. Vitamin B1, a bifunctional thiazolium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursor, is the coenzyme for transketolase. In the past two decades, a series of chiral NHCs, including monocyclic, bicyclic, tetracyclic, and even bridged ones, have been synthesized and successfully utilized as efficient organocatalysts for a wide variety of asymmetric organic reactions. The utility of bifunctional catalysts can enhance catalytic activity and improve stereochemical control through their synchronous activation of both reaction partners. However, the NHCs possessing multiple activation sites are far less developed.This Account gives an overview of our research on the design, development, and applications of bifunctional NHCs in organocatalysis. We synthesized a series of l-pyroglutamic acid-derived bifunctional NHCs bearing a free hydroxyl group which can interact with carbonyl or imino groups via hydrogen-bonding. Further studies revealed that these bifunctional catalysts worked well for a variety of reactions. We have developed bifunctional NHC-catalyzed aza-benzoin reactions, [2 + 2], [2 + 3], and [2 + 4] cycloadditions of ketenes, [3 + 2] and [3 + 4] annulations of enals, and aza-MBH and Rauhut-Currier reactions of Michael acceptors. In addition to these reactions via nucleophilic Breslow intermediates, enolates, homoenolates, and zwitterionic azolium intermediates, the bifunctional NHC-catalyzed [3 + 3] annulation via 1,3-biselectrophilic α,β-unsaturated acyl azolium intermediates was also developed.In these reactions, bifunctional NHCs showed amazing effects compared to normal nonbifunctional NHCs. In some cases, the bifunctional NHCs facilitated reactions which did not work under normal NHC catalysis, possibly due to additional activation via H-bonding. More interestingly, the bifunctional NHCs could not only improve but also switch the enantioselectivity to get products with opposite stereochemistry through H-bond controlled stereochemical directing. Furthermore, the reaction mode could be totally changed from [3 + 2] to [3 + 4] annulation to give kinetically favored products when bifunctional NHCs were employed. In future, the applications of bifunctional NHCs in other challenging reactions, such as asymmetric reactions with carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds, and the reactions involving alkyl or heteroatom radicals will be the major focus in our group.

Abstract
The diverse reactivity of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in organocatalysis is due to the possibility of different modes of action. Although NHC-bound enolates and dienolates are known, the related NHC-bound cross-conjugated aza-trienolates remain elusive. Herein, we demonstrate the NHC-catalyzed formal [6+2] annulation of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic aldehydes with α,α,α-trifluoroacetophenones leading to the formation of versatile pyrrolooxazolones (29 examples). The catalytically generated cross-conjugated aza-trienolates (aza-fulvene type) underwent smooth [6+2] annulation with electrophilic ketones to afford the product in moderate to good yields under mild conditions. Preliminary DFT studies on the mechanism are also provided.

Abstract
Coupling between 5-bromoimidazo[1,5-a]pyridinium salts and malonate or arylacetate esters leads to a facile and straightforward access to the new mesoionic, fused, tricyclic system of imidazo[2,1,5-cd]indolizinium-3-olate. Mechanistic studies show that the reaction pathway consists of nucleophilic aromatic substitution on the cationic, bicyclic heterocycle by an enolate-type moiety and in the nucleophilic attack of a transient free N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) species on the ester group; the relative order of these two steps depends on the nature of the starting ester. This work highlights the valuable implementation of free NHC species as key intermediates in synthetic chemistry, beyond their classical use as stabilizing ligands or organocatalysts.

Abstract
A chemoselective cascade cycloaddition reaction is developed for green and efficient access to cyclopenta[c]pyridine derivatives. Simple and inexpensive NaOH is used as the sole catalyst for this process. The δ-carbon of cyclopropyl ester is activated as a nucleophilic carbon to initiate highly chemoselective cascade reactions. Cyclopenta[c]pyridines bearing various substituents are afforded in excellent yields. Preliminary studies on the bioactivities of the afforded products show promising antibacterial activities for potential applications in plant protections.

Abstract
Functionalized γ-butyrolactones are privileged structures in the field of medicinal chemistry; they are found in numerous natural products and synthetic compounds with diverse biological activities. The oxidative ring contraction of 3,4-dihydropyran-2-one derivatives represents a promising yet underappreciated strategy to access these compounds. To the best of our knowledge, very few examples of this strategy have been reported, with limited investigation of the influence of stereogenic centers on the starting dihydropyranones. We investigated the iodine(III)-mediated contraction of a representative set of dihydropyranone derivatives. The method gives rapid access to functionalized γ-butyrolactones in good yields. The reaction scope was investigated, and the method was found to support various levels of substituents, even enabling access to sterically congested quaternary centers. The stereoselectivity was investigated using chiral substrates and a chiral iodine(III) reagent.

Abstract
Predicting the chemoselectivity of [2 + 2] cyclizations is an important challenge in organic chemistry. Herein, we provided a valuable case for this issue. Density functional theory calculations were performed to systematically study the possible mechanisms and origin of selectivities for the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed oxidative α-C(sp3)-H activation of aliphatic aldehydes and the cascade [2 + 2] cycloaddition with ketimines. The [2 + 2] cycloaddition of azolium enolate intermediates to the C═N bond, rather than the C═O bond of ketimine, is revealed to be determined by chemo- and stereoselectivity. By comparing the energy gap between the frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) of the two reacting parts involved in the [2 + 2] cycloaddition transition states, we propose a new strategy to determine the origin of the reaction chemoselectivity. Moreover, the local nucleophilic index can efficiently predict the active site of ketimines. Further analyses illustrate that NHC can increase the nucleophilicity of aldehydes and the acidity of the α-C(sp3)-H bond, and 3,3',5,5'-tetra- tert-butyl diphenoquinone (DQ) acts as an oxidant and promotes α-C(sp3)-H bond deprotonation. This work is useful not only for understanding the NHC-catalyzed oxidative [2 + 2] annulation but also for developing new applications of the FMO theory in organocatalytic cyclizations.

Abstract
The last couple of decades have witnessed tremendous development within N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis. NHCs have been used as powerful organic catalysts in asymmetric synthesis. Although great achievements have been made in asymmetric NHC catalysis, their applications in kinetic resolution (KR), dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR), and desymmetrization processes have been relatively less developed. Moreover, limited activation modes have been involved in these processes. This review provides an overview of the NHC-organocatalyzed KR, DKR, and desymmetrization reactions in the preparation of chiral functional molecules. The aim is to highlight both the importance and elegance of these methods in the construction of challenging chiral compounds and to provide our own perspective on future development in this direction.

Abstract
The first highly enantioselective organocatalytic reaction employing 2-hydroxyacetophenones is disclosed, namely Michael-hemiacetalization reaction of 2-hydroxyacetophenones with enals. The combination of a primary amine and a secondary amine catalyst was found to be the best choice for this methodology. The products of this reaction were obtained in high enantio- and diastereoselectivities and were converted to a variety of biologically important γ-butyrolactones.

Abstract
A one-pot, stereoselective construction of 2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-diaryltetrahydrofurans has been achieved via N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)/base-mediated domino reactions of aldehydes and vinyl selenone. The products containing two contiguous quaternary hydroxyl functionalities among the three stereocenters are obtained advantageously as either acetals or ketals through the formation of five new chemical bonds in a single operation. This report constitutes an altogether different reactivity of vinyl selenone in comparison with the corresponding sulfones and phosphonates under NHC/base-mediated reactions.

Abstract
A NHC-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of allyl ketones with azides has been developed. This strategy could generate 1,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in high yields and regioselectivities in the presence of a 20 mol% N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst. A broad substrate scope of this process is also presented.

Abstract
The ability to modulate the nucleophilicity and Lewis basicity of N-heterocyclic carbenes is pivotal to their application as organocatalysts. Herein we examine the impact of the N-substituent on the nucleophilicity and Lewis basicity. Four N-substituents popular in NHC organocatalysis, namely, the N-2,6-(CH3O)2C6H3, N-Mes, N-4-CH3OC6H4, and N-tert-butyl groups, have been examined and found to strongly affect the nucleophilicity. Thus, the N-2,6-(CH3O)2C6H3 group provides the most nucleophilic imidazolylidene NHC reported and the N-tert-butyl group one of the least. This difference in nucleophilicity is reflected in the catalyst efficiency, as observed with a recently reported trienyl ester rearrangement.

Abstract
Stereo- and chemodivergent enantioselective reaction pathways are observed upon treatment of alkylarylketenes and trichloroacetaldehyde (chloral) with N-heterocyclic carbenes, giving selectively either β-lactones (up to 88:12 dr, up to 94 % ee) or α-chloroesters (up to 94 % ee). Either 2-arylsubstitution or an α-branched iPr alkyl substituent within the ketene favours the chlorination pathway, allowing chloral to be used as an electrophilic chlorinating reagent in asymmetric catalysis.
