N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis : expansion of substrate scope and synthesis of electronically diverse tetraaryl N-heterocyclic imidazolium carbene ligands /

Asymmetric hydrogenation as a general route to polypropionates has been explored for allylic alcohols, acids, and derivatives, which has led to the generation of 2,4-dimethylated hexane derivatives. Quantitative yields in most cases and enantioselectivities greater than 98% were obtained. A remarkab...
