Abstract / Description of output

A one-pot synthesis of a wide range of bidentate, alkoxide-N-heterocyclic carbene ligands provides new lithium alkoxycarbenes and a range of covalently bound organometallic Cu(II) carbene complexes, which are catalytically active, in some cases enantioselectively, for conjugate addition reactions.
