The formation of CÀC bonds undoubtedly belongs to the most important transformations in organic chemistry, and Michael reactions are important examples thereof.[1] Two strategies have mainly been followed for the activation of Michael acceptors to conduct conjugate addition reactions: a) activation by using Lewis [2] or Brønsted [3] acids and b) activation by iminium ion generation.[4] It has been shown independently by Bode and Glorius [5] that α, βunsaturated aldehydes 1 react with N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) 2 to umpoled [6] intermediates of type A, which can then react as homoenolates at the β position with various electrophiles to give product B (Scheme 1).[7]We recently showed that Breslow intermediates A can be readily oxidized with mild organic oxidants to acylazolium ions of type C, which undergo efficient Oacylation with various O nucleophiles to give the corresponding esters.[8–10] Based on these results we decided to use oxidatively generated intermediates C as Michael acceptors to conduct 1, 4-addition reactions using soft Cnucleophiles.
