A dual catalytic system consisting of indium triflate and a chiral imidazolidinone catalyzes the asymmetric addition of aldehydes to N-acyl quinoliniums furnishing optically active dihydroquinolines in good yields and excellent selectivities.

Polarity inversion is the hallmark of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis, with the generation and reaction of acyl anion equivalents known for more than 70 years. In contrast, polarity inversion through 1,4-addition of NHCs to conjugate acceptors was first applied in a catalytic reaction in 2006. This sub-field of NHC-organocatalysis has developed steadily over the subsequent years, enabling novel coupling reactions, enantioselective cycloisomerizations, polymerizations, and other reactions. In this review, this emerging area of NHC-organocatalysis is discussed with comprehensive coverage. In addition, notes regarding the use of other Lewis base catalysts for related reactions, and comments regarding NHC selection for this type of catalysis, are provided.

Diboron reagents have been traditionally regarded as “Lewis acids”, which can react with simple Lewis base to create a significant nucleophilic character in one of boryl moieties. In particular, bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) reacts with simple Lewis bases, such as N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), phosphines and alkoxides. This review focuses on the application of trivalent nucleophilic boryl synthon in the selective preparation of organoboron compounds, mainly through metal-free catalytic diboration and the β-boration reactions of alkynes and alkenes.
