Urea activation by an external brønsted acid: Breaking self-association and tuning catalytic performance

In this work, we hypothesize that Brønsted acids can activate urea-based catalysts by diminishing its self-assembly tendency. As a proof of concept, we used the asymmetric Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles with nitroalkenes as a benchmark reaction. The resulting 3-substituted indole derivatives w...

description In this work, we hypothesize that Brønsted acids can activate urea-based catalysts by diminishing its self-assembly tendency.
