New enantiopure NHCs derived from camphor?

Abstract

A new class of enantiopure carbene precursors based on cheap camphor has been developed, and a restricted rotation of one N-substituent due to the C-10 methyl group of the camphor skeleton has been found; in situ prepared corresponding carbenes revealed the same behaviour.
