Nucleophilicities and Lewis Basicities of Isothiourea Derivatives
摘要:
Rate and equilibrium constants for the reactions of a series of isothioureas with benzhydrylium ions have been measured photometrically. The data were employed to determine the nucleophilicities and nucleofugalities of isothioureas and compare them with those of other organocatalysts.

Transferable skills: Enantiomerically pure isothioureas promote the O‐ to C‐carboxyl grouptransfer of oxazolyl carbonates with excellent levels of enantiocontrol (see scheme). The origin of the enantioselectivity of this process was probed mechanistically and rationalized computationally.
