“…In particular, the catalytic enantioselective carbon‐hydrogen bond functionalization of thiazol‐4‐one derivatives to construct a quaternary stereogenic center at the C5 position attracted much attention. Impressive results on the catalytic asymmetric reaction of 5 H ‐thiazol‐4‐ones have been achieved by the research groups of Palomo, Hartwig, Lan and Lu, Jiang, Zhou, Luo and Gong, and Zhang and Niu . Among these researches, 5 H ‐thiazol‐4‐ones were successfully involved in the organocatalytic enantioselective 1,4‐additions of different Michael acceptors including nitroalkenes (Scheme A), enones (Scheme B), azodicarboxylates (Scheme C), [8c], and N ‐maleimides (Scheme D) .…”
