Kinetic Resolutions Enabled by N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysis:An Update
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 ad-vances have been realized,and this review will provide an update of this field covering reports from mid-2017 to 2023.
