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.

Abstract: A novel chiral BINOL–silica hybrid has been successfully prepared by the reaction of (S)-BINOL and SiCl4 following by gel polymerization under atmosphere condition. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Catalytic activity of the chiral BINOL–silica hybrid for diastereo- and enantioselective Diels–Alder and aza Michael reactions has been investigated. Mild reaction conditions, high yields, excellent diastereo- and enantiomeric excess make this powerful and effective catalyst as an attractive option for the synthesis of chiral organic compounds.

The Diels-Alder (DA) reaction is a cornerstone of synthesis, yet Nature does not use catalysts for intermolecular [4+2] cycloadditions. Attempts to create artificial "Diels-Alderases" have also met with limited success, plagued by product inhibition. Using a simple Pd2L4 capsule we now show DA catalysis that combines efficient turnover alongside enzyme-like hallmarks. This includes excellent activity (kcat/kuncat > 103), selective transition-state stabilization comparable to the most proficient DA catalytic antibodies, and control over regio- and chemoselectivity that would otherwise be difficult to achieve using small-molecule catalysts. Unlike other catalytic approaches that use synthetic capsules, this method is not defined by entropic effects; instead multiple H-bonding interactions modulate reactivity, reminiscent of enzymatic action.
