Kinetic Resolutions Enabled by <i>N</i>-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysis: An Update
Shuang Yang, Xinqiang Fang
Abstract
Kinetic resolution is one of the most commonly used methods allowing access to enantioenriched compounds.The last two decades have seen the rapid development of kinetic resolutions enabled by N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis, and part of the achievements have been summarized in our previous review paper published in 2017.Since then, a series of new advances have been realized, and this review will provide an update of this field covering reports from mid-2017 to 2023.
