Redox Active N-Heterocyclic Carbenes in Oxidative NHC Catalysis release_thky4zoke5gwjiqlvbgbgdkqcm

Abstract

An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) covalently linked to a quinone introduces a novel avenue for internal oxidations within oxidative NHC catalysis. The deployment of this hybrid NHC class promotes intramolecular electronic flow in the oxidation of the Breslow intermediate to acyl azolium. The use of the redox active NHC as a catalyst is facilitated by employing aerobic regeneration, yielding carboxylic esters with efficiencies of ≤99%, while generating water as the sole byproduct.
