Carbene-catalyzed imine reductive reaction: a new application of Breslow intermediates
Here, we report a new NHC-catalyzed imine reductive reaction, in which the acetoin was employed as a hydride source to react with the NHC catalyst, and then Breslow intermediate was formed as a reductant to reduce the imino ester in excellent yields.
