摘要
Chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) mediate the enantioselective addition of 2-phenylphenol to unsymmetrical alkylarylketenes, delivering alpha-alkyl-alpha-arylacetic acid derivatives with good levels of enantiocontrol (up to 84% ee). Enantiodivergent stereochemical outcomes are observed using 2-phenylphenol and benzhydrol in the NHC-promoted esterification reaction using a triazolium precatalyst derived from pyroglutamic acid, consistent with distinct mechanistic pathways operating within these processes.
