organocatalysts based on an amide anion/iminium cation charge pair has been developed. The zwitterions are easily prepared by reacting aziridines with aminopyridines. They are catalytically applicable to transesterifications and dehydrative esterifications. Mechanistic studies reveal that the amide anion and iminium cation work synergistically in activating the reaction partners, with the iminium cationic
已经开发了一类基于酰胺阴离子/亚胺阳离子电荷对的两性离子有机催化剂。两性离子易于通过使氮丙啶与氨基吡啶反应来制备。它们催化地适用于酯交换和脱水酯化。机理研究表明,酰胺阴离子和亚胺阳离子在活化反应伙伴方面具有协同作用,亚胺阳离子部分通过非经典氢键与羰基底物相互作用。该反应可在温和条件下用于大规模合成生物柴油。
