Synthesis of Coupling Substrates for Use in a Highly Enantioselective Conjugated Triene Cyclization Enabled by a Chiral N-Heterocyclic Carbene

The ability to generate chiral building blocks is of paramount importance to organic chemists. This problem presents itself most notably at the interface of chemistry and biology, where molecules of only a single enantiomer can induce function to many biological systems. In this context, recent deve...
