Direct and efficient N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed hydroxymethylation of aldehydes
Abstract
The N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed coupling of several aldehydes with paraformaldehyde is reported, directly providing the corresponding valuable hydroxymethyl ketones. Results of first mechanistic experiments for this remarkably selective transformation are also provided.
