The Br?nsted basicities pKaH (i.e., pKa of the conjugate acids) of 32 pyrrolidines and imidazolidinones, commonly used in organocatalytic reactions, have been determined photometrically in acetonitrile solution using CH acids as indicators. Most investigated pyrrolidines have basicities in the range 16 aH aH aH 12.6) and the 2-imidazoliummethyl-substituted pyrrolidine A21 (pKaH 11.1) are outside the typical range for pyrrolidines with basicities comparable to those of imidazolidinones. Kinetics of the reactions of these 32 organocatalysts with benzhydrylium ions (Ar2CH+) and structurally related quinone methides, common reference electrophiles for quantifying nucleophilic reactivities, have been measured photometrically. Most reactions followed second-order kinetics, first order in amine and first order in electrophile. More complex kinetics were observed for the reactions of imidazolidinones and several pyrrolidines carrying bulky 2-substituents, due to reversibility of the initial attack of the amines at the electrophiles followed by rate-determining deprotonation of the intermediate ammonium ions. In the presence of 2,4,6-collidine or 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl-pyridine, the deprotonation of the initial adducts became faster, which allowed the rate of the attack of the amines at the electrophiles to be determined. The resulting second-order rate constants k2 followed the correlation log?k2(20 °C) = sN(N + E), where electrophiles are characterized by one parameter (E) and nucleophiles are characterized by the two solvent-dependent parameters N and sN. In this way, the organocatalysts A1-A32 were integrated in our comprehensive nucleophilicity scale, which compares n-, -, and σ-nucleophiles. The nucleophilic reactivities of the title compounds correlate only poorly with their Br?nsted basicities.

A convenient preparation of 1-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazoles, -imidazoles, and -1H-1,2,4-triazoles, 1-(piperidin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazoles and -1H-1,2,4-triazoles, and 1-(piperidin-3-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazoles by alkylation of azoles (viz. pyrazoles, imidazoles, and triazoles) with N-Cbz-prolinol mesylate or its analogues and subsequent deprotection is reported. The two-step method allows for synthesis of the title compounds in 16-65% yields. The utility of the procedure has been demonstrated by multigram preparation of a 15-member building block mini-library for the lead-oriented synthesis of compound libraries. These building blocks perfectly fit the definition of low-molecular-weight hydrophilic three-dimensional templates, which leave much room for the lead-oriented synthesis of the compound libraries.

Homochiral crystallizations of two enantiomeric metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) Ce-MDIP1 and Ce-MDIP2 were achieved by using l- or d-BCIP as chiral inductions, respectively, where the chiralities were characterized by solid state CD spectra. Ce-MDIPs exhibit excellent catalytic activity and high enantioselectivity for the asymmetric cyanosilylation of aromatic aldehydes; the homochiral Cd-TBT MOF having l-PYI as a chiral adduct exhibits stereochemical catalysis toward the Aldol reactions.
