1,1’-(ethane-1,2-diyl)dipyridinium bistribromide (edpbt) was used as a chemoselective and effective organocatalyst for the silylation of hydroxyl groups as well as desilylation of trimethylsilyl ethers under mild conditions at room temperature with good to excellent yields.

An asymmetric α-amination of β-keto esters with azodicarboxylate in the presence of a guanidine-bisurea bifunctional organocatalyst was investigated. The α-amination products were obtained in up to 99% yield with up to 94% ee.

Catalytic synthesis of chiral spirocyclic ketones was accomplished via the Pd-catalyzed intramolecular α-arylation of α-substituted cyclic ketones. The obtained spirocyclic ketone could be converted into a bifunctional organocatalyst.

The CuGHK peptide-based porous material acts as a heterogeneous organocatalyst in the Henry reaction due to periodic distribution of pockets decorated with lysine side chain active sites.

In contrast to iodine(I)-based halogen bond donors, iodine(III)-derived ones have only been used as Lewis acidic organocatalysts in a handful of examples, and all cases they acted monodentate fashion. Herein, we report the first application bidentate bis(iodolium) salt organocatalyst Michael nitro-Michael addition reaction well Diels-Alder that had not activated by noncovalent before. cases, pe...

In the current study, a convenient and simple way is presented to synthesize a novel type of supported heterogeneous organocatalyst in 21-81% yield by the copolymerization of 9-amino-9-deoxy-epi-cinchonine organocatalyst with acrylonitrile using AIBN as radical initiator. The chemical compositions (x/y) and weight-average molecular weights of copolymers 1a-d were determined by (1)H NMR and GPC ...

Poly(ethylene furanoate) (PEF) films were first produced using thermo-compression. Thereafter, the chemical recyclability was demonstrated in presence of a thermally stable organocatalyst followed by its repolymerization.

Graphene oxide was found to be a highly efficient, reusable and cost-effective organocatalyst for the aza-Michael addition of amines to activated alkenes to furnish corresponding β-amino compounds in excellent yields.

In the title compound, C(20)H(21)NO(6), an N-oxide-based organocatalyst, the N-containing six-membered ring adopts a twisted half-chair conformation. No hydrogen bonding or π-π stacking was found within the crystal structure.

Trichlorosilyl triflate-promoted directed cross-aldol reaction between ketones in the presence of a chiral phosphine oxide as an organocatalyst is described. This is the first enantioselective cross-aldol reaction between simple ketones with good enantioselectivity.
