Two novel diastereomeric cinchona-calixarene hybrid-type receptors (SOs) were synthesized by inter-linking 9-amino(9-deoxy)-quinine (AQN)/9-amino(9-deoxy)-epiquinine (eAQN) and a calix[4]arene scaffold via an urea functional unit. Silica-supported chiral stationary phases (CSPs) derived from these
The enantioselective Conia-ene cyclization of alkyne-tethered β-ketoesters is efficiently catalyzed by the combination of cinchona-derived amino-urea pre-catalysts and copper(I) salts. The reaction scope is broad and a series of substrates can be efficiently cyclized with high yields and
The first class of bifunctional cinchona-alkaloid catalysts incorporating a urea moiety at C-5' has been developed. These materials catalyze the efficient and highly enantioselective 1,2-addition of nitromethane to trifluoromethylketones to form synthetically pliable products incorporating a
Cinchona alkaloid derivatives modified to include a (thio)urea component have emerged in the last three years as readily accessible, robust and tunable bifunctional organocatalysts for a range of synthetically useful transformations. The origins of these catalysts and the major developments in their
The cinchona alkaloid-derived urea-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of aromatic thiols to cycloalkenones was studied using density functional theory (DFT). Deprotonation of the thiol gives a protonated amine that activates the electrophile by Brønsted acid catalysis, while the urea group
Sulfa-Michael additions to α,β-unsaturated N-acylated oxazolidin-2-ones and related α,β-unsaturated α-amino acid derivatives have been enantioselectively catalyzed by Cinchona alkaloids functionalized with a hydrogen bond donating group at the C6' position. The series of Cinchona alkaloids includes
The mechanism of the enantioselective sulfa-Michael addition reaction catalyzed by a cinchona alkaloid-squaramide bifunctional organocatalyst was studied using density functional theory (DFT). Four possible modes of dual activation mechanism via hydrogen bonds were considered. Our study showed that
