Heteroaromatic aldehydes are often used preferentially or exclusively in a range of NHC-catalysed processes that proceed through the generation of a reactive diaminoenol or Breslow Intermediate (BI), with the reason for their unique reactivity curren...

Bicyclic triazolium scaffolds are widely employed in N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis. While the incorporation of a fused ring was initially for synthetic utility in accessing chiral, modular triazolyl scaffolds, recent results highlight...
