N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed [3 + 3] cyclocondensation of bromoenals with hydrazones: highly enantioselective synthesis of dihydropyridazones†
Abstract
The N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed [3 + 3] cyclocondensation of bromoenals and hydrazones is developed to give the corresponding chiral 4,5-dihydropyridazones in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities.
