Asymmetric Synthesis of Bioactive Molecules for Pesticide Development with N ‐Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC)‐Organocatalysis

Chiral pesticides have gained significant attention in modern agrochemical research and development due to the distinct interactions of their enantiomers with biological targets. N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have emerged as powerful tools in asymmetric catalysis for the enantioselective synthesis of chiral molecules. This review highlights the recent advancements in NHC-organocatalytic strategies for constructing functionally diverse chiral architectures with applications in crop protection.
