Mechanistic insights into NHC/Cu catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of spirooxindoles: origins of enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity
This work elucidates the NHC/Cu-catalyzed asymmetric annulation of isatin-derived enals with ethynyl carbonates, uncovering the origins of high stereo-selectivity and highlighting the crucial role of water molecules in catalysis.
