We have disclosed the catalytic potential hidden behind a series of aqua-aminoorganoboron compounds in the formation and reaction of nitronate species. The pivotal role of a single-coordinated water molecule in the catalyst was demonstrated by comparison with the D2O-analogue. The present results provide a new strategy for the design of metal-free catalysts which function via elaborative hydrogen-bonding networks involving water.
