Study on the Catalytic Behavior of Bifunctional Hydrogen-Bonding Catalysts Guided by Free Energy Relationship Analysis of Steric Parameters

Free energy relationship (FER) studies to correlate steric parameters with the enantiocatalytic performance of bifunctional tertiary-amine hydrogen-bonding catalysts, including (S,S)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine-derived thioureas, Cinchona alkaloid derived thioureas, and (S,S)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine-derived squaramides, in Michael reactions revealed that the reactions are much favored by catalysts with less bulky N-substituents. The observed FERs are independent of the chiral scaffold and hydrogen-bond donor, and deepen the understanding of current bifunctional hydrogen-bonding catalysts. Moreover, DFT calculations were performed to interpret the observed high reactivities of thioureas with less bulky substituents. In particular, the computations demonstrated the advantage of a benzyl thiourea catalyst, in which an extra CH???π interaction between catalyst and substrate is the key factor.

1,3-Diamine-Derived Bifunctional Organocatalyst Prepared from Camphor

Chiral 1,2-diamines are privileged structural motifs in organocatalysis, whereas efficient 1,3-diamine-derived organocatalysts are very rare. Herein we report a highly efficient camphor-1,3-diamine-derived squaramide organocatalyst. Its catalytic activity

Synthesis and evaluation of cationic norbornanes as peptidomimetic antibacterial agents

A series of structurally amphiphilic biscationic norbornanes have been synthesised as rigidified, low molecular weight peptidomimetics of cationic antimicrobial peptides. A variety of charged hydrophilic functionalities were attached to the norbornane scaffold including aminium, guanidinium, imidazolium and pyridinium moieties. Additionally, a range of hydrophobic groups of differing sizes were incorporated through an acetal linkage. The compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Activity was observed across the series; the most potent of which exhibited an MIC's ≤ 1 μg mL-1 against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis and several strains of Staphylococcus aureus, including multi-resistant methicillin resistant (mMRSA), glycopeptide-intermediate (GISA) and vancomycin-intermediate (VISA) S. aureus.

Ferrocene analogues of hydrogen-bond-donor catalysts: An investigative study on asymmetric Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to nitroalkenes

This report describes the synthesis of eight ferrocene derivatives of squaramide- or thiourea- based bifunctional catalysts containing cinchona alkaloid moieties. A stepwise sequential route was used to assemble the various components of these ferrocene d

Squaric Acid N-Hydroxylamides: Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of Vinylogous Hydroxamic Acid Analogues

The synthesis of squaric acid N-hydroxylamide esters 5 and amides 6 from dimethyl squarate 2a is described. These derivatives are analogues of the naturally occurring iron(III) chelator hydroxamic acid. On the basis of a comparative reactivity study, a co
