A Cooperative Ternary Catalysis System for Asymmetric Lactonizations of α-Ketoesters
{{output}}
A general and enantioselective N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed lactonization of simple enals and α-ketoesters has been discovered using a new ternary cooperative catalytic system. The highly selective annulation was achieved by using a combination of a... ...
