Hydrogen bonding is ubiquitous throughout nature and serves as a versatile platform for accessing chemicalreactivity. In leveraging this force, chemists have utilized organocatalysts to expand the spectrum of chemicalreactivity enabled by hydrogen bonding and at the extreme proton transfer. Despite this broad utility, exploiting charge as a hydrogen-bond activation strategy is unknown for squaramide
Reaction of the bis-ligand-chelated samarium complex [Sin (Hbptd)(H(2)bptd)1 (1; H(3)bptd = (2-pyrroly1)-2,5,8-triazanon a-1,8-diene), in which a pyrrolyl ring is dangling and metal-free, with Ti(NMe2)(4) yielded the heterometallic complex [Sm(Hbptd)(THF) (bptd)Ti(NMe2)(2)] (2). Treatment of the H3bptd ligand with 1 equiv of Ti(NMe2)(4) gave the titanium amido complex [Ti(bptd)(NMe2)] (3). Complexes 2 and 2; were able to catalyze the hydroamination of phenylacetylene with 2,4-dichloroaniline and 4-methoxyaniline, and high regioselectivities were observed for the two amines. Both 1 and 2 were active catalysts for the ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone. 2 showed higher activity for the polymerization reactions, due to a decrease in the coordination number of the samarium atom (from 9 in 1 to 8 in 2) by sharing its ligand with the titanium center.

The successful application of galliumtrichloride as a catalyst for the intermolecular hydroamination of alkynes with aromatic amines is reported. The reaction is effective with many aniline derivatives and shows exclusive selectivity for the Markovnikov products. The mechanism of the transformation was investigated by DFT calculations and a plausible pathway is proposed.
