title: Switching regioselectivity in crossed acyloin condensations between aromatic aldehydes and acetaldehyde by altering N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts.
abstract: An unprecedented high level of regioselectivities (up to 96%) in the intermolecular crossed acyloin condensations of various aromatic aldehydes with acetaldehyde was realized by an appropriate choice of N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts.
