The umpolung reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to saturated esters has been carried out in an ionic liquid by organocatalysis of electrogenerated NHC. The roles of solvent, precatalyst and proton donor of the ionic liquid have been verified and good to high yields of esters have been obtained using a "green" and mild methodology. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Abstract
The umpolung reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to saturated esters has been carried out in an ionic liquid by organocatalysis of electrogenerated NHC. The roles of solvent, precatalyst and proton donor of the ionic liquid have been verified and good to high yields of esters have been obtained using a "green" and mild methodology. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
