A novel receptor based on the 4,5-diamine-9,9-dimethylxanthene skeleton functionalised with triflamides has been developed and its hydrogen-bonding donor ability is examined and compared with that of thiourea groups. The novel receptor also shows its potential as an organocatalyst.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A series of dendritic ligands with a 2,2′-bipyridine core was synthesized through the coupling of 4,4′-dihydroxy-2,2′-bipyridine with poly(aryl ether) dendrons. The corresponding dendritic Cu(OTf)2 catalysts were used for Diels-Alder and three-component condensation reactions. The dendritic Cu(OTf) 2-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction proceeded smoothly, and these dendritic catalysts could be recycled without deactivation by reprecipitation. Three-component condensation reactions such as Mannich-type reactions also proceeded not only in dichloromethane but also in water. Furthermore, a positive dendritic effect on chemical yields was observed in both Diels-Alder reactions and aqueous-media three-component condensation reactions.
Metal-free, noncovalent catalysis of Diels - Alder reactions by Neutral hydrogen bond donors in organic solvents and in water
Wittkopp, Alexander,Schreiner, Peter R.
, p. 407 - 414 (2003)
We examined the catalytic activity of substituted thioureas in a series of Diels - Alder reactions and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. The kinetic data reveal that the observed accelerations in the relative rates are more dependent on the thiourea substituents than on the reactants or solvent. Although the catalytic effectiveness is the strongest in noncoordinating, nonpolar solvents, such as cyclohexane, it is also present in highly coordinating polar solvents, such as water. In 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions, the thiourea catalysts demonstrate only very moderate selectivity for reactions with inverse electron demand. Our experiments emphasize that both hydrophobic and polar interactions can co-exist, making these catalysts active, even in highly coordinating solvents. This class of catalysts increases the reaction rates and endo-selectivities of Diels - Alder reactions, in a similar manner to weak Lewis acids, without concomitant product inhibition.

The assignment of the signals for the H and C atoms of four diastereomers (without their separation) of 2-(1-aminoethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (1) and its hydrochloride (2) (the antiviral drug deitiforin) was performed for the first time by two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The effects of the substituent at position 2 of norbornane on the chemical shifts of the α-, β-, and γ-carbon atoms of the bicycle were examined using the increments for alkanes. The changes in the chemical shifts of the C(6) and C(7) atoms are substantially larger than those for the other C atoms, which made it possible to identify the exo and endo forms. Each of these forms exists as a mixture of two diastereomers. The effect of the positive charge of the N atom on the γ-protons, which are closely spaced, but separated by a number of covalent bonds, was considered on going from amine 1 to hydrochloride 2. Based on significant changes in shielding of these H atoms, the configurations of the asymmetric center in the CHMe(NH2) substituent of the diastereomers were established.
Entrapment of cyclopentadiene in zeolite NaY and its application for solvent-free Diels-Alder reactions in the nanosized confined environment
Imachi, Shouhei,Onaka, Makoto
, p. 4943 - 4946 (2004)
Nonpolar cyclopentadiene was stably entrapped as a monomer in the hydrophilic supercages of zeolite NaY. A monomer form of cyclopentadiene in the supercages was confirmed by 13C MAS NMR spectroscopy. The adsorbed cyclopentadiene in the confined cavities performed the Diels-Alder reaction with typical dienophiles under solvent-free conditions more effectively than in organic and water media.
Rapid quantification of the activating effects of hydrogen-bonding catalysts with a colorimetric sensor
Huynh, Phuong N. H.,Walvoord, Ryan R.,Kozlowski, Marisa C.
, p. 15621 - 15623,3 (2012)
A sensor has been developed to quickly and simply assess the relative reactivity of different hydrogen-bonding catalysts. Specifically, blue-shifts seen upon treatment of H-bonding catalysts with the colorimetric compound 7-methyl-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-one correlate well to the K eq of binding to the sensor. The blue-shifts also show a high degree of correlation with relative rates in Diels-Alder reactions of methyl vinyl ketone and cyclopentadiene employing the H-bonding catalysts. The relevance of the sensor blue-shifts to the LUMO-lowering abilities of the H-bonding catalysts is discussed.

, p. 4831 - 4834 (2006)
A series of dendritic ligands with a 2,2′-bipyridine core was synthesized through the coupling of 4,4′-dihydroxy-2,2′-bipyridine with poly(arylether) dendron in fair yields. The corresponding copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate) dendrimers were applied as a Lewis acid catalyst to the Diels-Alder reaction. A positive dendritic effect on the chemical yields of adducts was observed.
Bis-selenonium Cations as Bidentate Chalcogen Bond Donors in Catalysis

Lewis acids are frequently employed in catalysis but they often suffer from high moisture sensitivity. In many reactions, catalysts are deactivated because of the problem that strong Lewis acids also bond to the products. In this research, hydrolytically stable bidentate Lewis acid catalysts derived from selenonium dicationic centers have been developed. The bis-selenonium catalysts are employed in the activation of imine and carbonyl groups in various transformations with good yields and selectivity. Lewis acidity of the bis-selenonium salts was found to be stronger than that of the monoselenonium systems, attributed to the synergistic effect of the two cationic selenonium centers. In addition, the bis-selenonium catalysts are not inhibited by strong bases or moisture.
Lewis Acidic Boranes, Lewis Bases, and Equilibrium Constants: A Reliable Scaffold for a Quantitative Lewis Acidity/Basicity Scale

A quantitative Lewis acidity/basicity scale toward boron-centered Lewis acids has been developed based on a set of 90 experimental equilibrium constants for the reactions of triarylboranes with various O-, N-, S-, and P-centered Lewis bases in dichloromethane at 20 °C. Analysis with the linear free energy relationship log KB=LAB+LBB allows equilibrium constants, KB, to be calculated for any type of borane/Lewis base combination through the sum of two descriptors, one for Lewis acidity (LAB) and one for Lewis basicity (LBB). The resulting Lewis acidity/basicity scale is independent of fixed reference acids/bases and valid for various types of trivalent boron-centered Lewis acids. It is demonstrated that the newly developed Lewis acidity/basicity scale is easily extendable through linear relationships with quantum-chemically calculated or common physical–organic descriptors and known thermodynamic data (ΔH (Formula presented.)). Furthermore, this experimental platform can be utilized for the rational development of borane-catalyzed reactions.
N-Heterocyclic Iod(az)olium Salts – Potent Halogen-Bond Donors in Organocatalysis

This article describes the application of N-heterocyclic iod(az)olium salts (NHISs) as highly reactive organocatalysts. A variety of mono- and dicationic NHISs are described and utilized as potent XB-donors in halogen-bond catalysis. They were benchmarked in seven diverse test reactions in which the activation of carbon- and metal-chloride bonds as well as carbonyl and nitro groups was achieved. N-methylated dicationic NHISs rendered the highest reactivity in all investigated catalytic applications with reactivities even higher than all previously described monodentate XB-donors based on iodine(I) and (III) and the strong Lewis acid BF3.
