title: Reaction of N-heterocyclic carbenes with chalcones leading to the synthesis of deoxy-Breslow intermediates in their oxidized form.
abstract: The synthesis of deoxy-Breslow intermediates in their oxidized form has been developed via the reaction of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with chalcones. Moreover, the initial tetrahedral adduct formed from the 1,4-addition of NHCs to chalcones is also isolated.
