In this paper, we propose a novel and efficient method for the preparation of various unsymmetrical benzils. We first demonstrate the nucleophilic aroylation of N-phenylbenzimidoyl chlorides with aromatic aldehydes using N-heterocyclic carbene as ...

The total synthesis of atroviridin has been accomplished by a linear route involving the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed aroylation of the fluorobenzene derivative, Claisen cyclization of the O-propargylated benzo-phenones, and intramolecul...
Aromatic aldehydes and ketones react with ketene under Lewis acid catalysis to produce beta-lactones, which in situ react with another molecule of ketene to produce 3-arylglutaric anhydrides. The mechanism, scope, and limitation of this one-pot sy...

Rh-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes were generated in situ from imidazolium salts, [RhCl(cod)](2) and t-BuOK in dioxane. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Rh-NHC complexes, the addition reaction of phenylboronic acid to N-sulfonylaryl...
