Using a prototypical Diels-Alder reaction as benchmark, we show that dicationic halogen-bond donors are capable of activating a neutral organic substrate. By various comparison experiments, the action of traces of acid or of other structural features of the halogen-bond donor

[reaction: see text] A combination of NMR, IR, and ab initio techniques reveals the striking structural similarities of an exemplary H-bonded complex of an N-acyloxazolidinone with an N,N'-disubstituted electron-poor thiourea and the corresponding Lewis acid complex. Although the H-bond association

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

The stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted 2-trifluoromethyl pyrrolidines by asymmetric Michael addition/hydrogenative cyclization is described. The direct organocatalytic addition of 1,1,1-trifluoromethylketones to nitroolefins proceeds under mild reaction conditions and low catalyst loadings to provide Michael adducts in high yield with excellent

Boronate ureas benefit from internal Lewis acid coordination of the urea cabonyl oxygen and the strategically placed boron. As a result of this structural feature, boronate ureas can be rendered more acidic than conventional urea hydrogen bond donor catalysts.
