The issue of the added value of NHCs in asymmetric catalysis with respect to trusted chiral P-ligands was addressed: considering a prototypical asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction as a model, the association of a priori inhibiting and achiral NHCs with modular P-ligand resulted in enhancement of er up to 508% and increased rates.
