Asymmetric Synthesis of Atropisomers Featuring an Aza-Axis via N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalysis.

The research of atropisomerism containing aza axes (such as C─N, N─N, C─O, and C─B) in synthetic chemistry has drawn considerable attention in the past few years, primarily due to its importance to natural products total synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. In contrast to the well-established field of C─C...
