RT Journal Article T1 Axially Chiral Triazoloisoquinolin-3-ylidene Ligands in Gold(I)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Intermolecular (4 + 2) Cycloadditions of Allenamides and Dienes A1 Francos Arias, Javier A1 Grande-Carmona, Francisca A1 Faustino, Hélio A1 Iglesias Sigüenza, Francisco Javier A1 Díez Martín, Elena A1 Alonso García, Isaac A1 Fernández Fernández, Rosario Fátima A1 Lassaletta, José M. A1 López García, Fernando A1 Mascareñas Cid, José Luis AB The first highly enantioselective intermolecular (4 + 2) cycloaddition between allenes and dienes is reported. The reaction provides good yields of optically active cyclohexenes featuring diverse substitution patterns and up to three stereocenters. Key to the success of the process is the use of newly designed axially chiral N-heterocyclic carbene–gold catalysts PB American Chemical Society SN 0002-7863 YR 2012 FD 2012 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18480 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18480 LA eng NO Francos, J., Grande-Carmona, F., Faustino, H., Iglesias-Sigüenza, J., Díez, E., Alonso, I., Fernández, R., Lassaletta, J.M., López, F. and Mascareñas, J.L.
