2-(Diphenylphosphino)benzoyl-Substituted Calix[4]arene: Efficient Organocatalyst in Aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman Reaction of N-Sulfonated Imines with Methyl Vinyl Ketone
A novelbifunctionalorganocatalyst 5,11,17,23-tetrabutyl-25-[2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoate]-26,27,28-trihydroxycalix-[4]arene (LB3) was synthesized and applied to promote the aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman (aza-MBH) reaction of N-sulfonated imines with methyl vinyl ketone. It was found that in the presence of acidic additives the reaction rate could be accelerated to give aza-MBH adducts in good to excellent

Pyrroles are versatile chemical motifs for molecular recognition or ligand design but their utility as catalytic components are underexplored. We incorporated a pyrrole motif into our acid-switchable, MAP-based trifunctional organocatalytic system. The switching-on of this system by an external Brønstedacid, 3-methyl benzoic acid, presented proficient catalysis in both aza-Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH
