Described herein is the NHC-organocatalyzed umpolung of aldimines for the enantioselective synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles. The bisimines generated from the condensation of 1,2-phenylenediamines and salicylaldehydes undergo intramolecular cyclization in the presence of a chiral NHC catalyst, resulting in the formation of dihydroquinoxalines in moderate to good yields and er values. Detailed DFT studies shed light on the role of -OH groups in stabilizing the initially generated aza-Breslow intermediates via intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Preliminary photophysical studies on the synthesized dihydroquinoxalines revealed that these molecules can be used for the sensing of various acids and bases.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11.384</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
