Abstract

The conclusion is inevitable: Increasing stabilization of an anionic transition state with increasing π-acidity of the catalyst is observed; thus, anion-π interactions can contribute to catalysis.

Keywords: kinetics; molecular recognition; noncovalent interactions; organocatalysis; transition states.
