  2. Hydrogen-bond catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen-bond_catalysis

    The thiourea hydrogen bonds to the nitro group and stabilizes the incoming negative charge, while the amine acts a specific base to activate the nucleophile. This is an example of bifunctional catalysis. Hydrogen-bond catalysis is a type of organocatalysis that relies on use of hydrogen bonding interactions to accelerate and control organic ...

  3. Hydrogen auto-transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_auto-transfer

    Homogenous catalysts for alcohol amination based on rhodium and ruthenium were developed by Grigg [8] and Watanabe [9] in 1981. The first hydrogen auto-transfer processes that convert primary alcohols to products of carbonyl addition were reported by Michael J. Krische in 2007-2008 using homogenous iridium and ruthenium catalysts. [10] [11] [12]

  4. Thiourea organocatalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiourea_organocatalysis

    Thioureas are often found to be stronger hydrogen-bond donors (i.e., more acidic) than ureas [7] because their amino groups are more positively charged. Quantum chemical analyses revealed that this counterintuitive phenomenon, which is not explainable by the relative electronegativities of O and S, results from the effective steric size of the ...

  5. Sabatier reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction

    Paul Sabatier (1854-1941) winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 and discoverer of the reaction in 1897. The Sabatier reaction or Sabatier process produces methane and water from a reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures (optimally 300–400 °C) and pressures (perhaps 3 MPa [1]) in the presence of a nickel catalyst.

  6. Squaramide catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squaramide_catalysis

    A squaramide organocatalyst typically contains the squaramide group and a hydrogen bond donor which is usually a tertiary amine group. The 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl-group is commonly used for the R group. For enantioselective squaramide catalysis, chirality is induced via the tertiary amine group. There are cases where both sides of the ...

  7. Active site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_site

    Hydrogen bond: A hydrogen bond is a specific type of dipole-dipole interaction between a partially positive hydrogen atom and a partially negative electron donor that contain a pair of electrons such as oxygen, fluorine and nitrogen. The strength of hydrogen bond depends on the chemical nature and geometric arrangement of each group.

  9. Catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalysis

    An illustrative example is the effect of catalysts to speed the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen: . 2 H 2 O 2 → 2 H 2 O + O 2. This reaction proceeds because the reaction products are more stable than the starting compound, but this decomposition is so slow that hydrogen peroxide solutions are commercially available.
