A cascade of products
UK researchers have developed a cascade reaction strategy, to prepare heterocylic building blocks, using N-heterocyclic carbenes as catalysts.
10-Jul-2008 -
The ability to combine many separate chemical steps into a single cascade protocol, to produce organic building blocks from simple organic starting materials, is highly desirable. N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are commonly used in organometallic processes, but have more recently been employed as ...
