Stereoselective synthesis of spirocyclopentanones viaN-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed reactions of enals and dienones

Abstract

Homoenolates generated from enals by nucleophilic heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis undergo a conjugate addition/cyclization sequence with cyclic dienones, culminating in the efficient synthesis of spirocyclopentanones.
