The conjugate addition of enolate or enol nucleophiles to activated double bonds (the Michael reaction) is an efficient method for the synthesis of 1, 5-dicarbonyl compounds.[1] The potential for the direct formation of a new carbon–carbon bond with control of up to three new stereogenic centers has driven continued and significant development of this reaction. Two central strategies are the use of metalloenolates and the addition of latent nucleophiles such as enol silanes in combination with a Lewis acid.[2] Studies by the research groups of Yamaguchi,[3] MacMillan,[4] Jørgensen,[5] and List [6] have demonstrated that secondary amines catalyze Michael reactions by the generation of activated unsaturated electrophiles through iminium ions. The corresponding strategy to the iminium approach is the catalytic generation of an enolate or enol nucleophile.[7, 8] Herein we report that N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are highly selective catalysts for the intramolecular Michael reaction of substrates 1 to afford dicarbonyl compounds 2 after the addition of an exogenous nucleophile [Eq.(1)].
