Electrophilic imines are suitable candidates for intercepting the NHC-derived acyl anions, homoenolate equivalents, and (di)enolates for the synthesis of alpha-amino ketones and a variety of lactam derivatives. Moreover, enamines generated from imines bearing alpha-hydrogen could be trapped with alpha,beta-unsaturated acylazoliums for the synthesis of functionalized dihydropyridinones. NHCs are also useful for the umpolung of imines for the generation of aza-Breslow intermediates thus leading to the synthesis of indoles, quinolines, dihydroquinoxalinesetc.A concise account of the diverse reactivity of imines in NHC catalysis has been presented.&lt;/p&gt;
