Silanediol Anion Binding and Enantioselective Catalysis

Abstract

Silanediols possess unique and complementary catalytic activity in reactions that are likely to proceed through anion binding. This article directly compares silanediols, thioureas, and squaramides in three separate anion-binding processes. The catalytic abilities of select members of each family are directly correlated to association constants.

Key words

anion recognition - enantioselective catalysis - thiourea - silanediol - squaramide
