We demonstrate that the species present in the equilibrium of DCv ureas can be employed in reaction cascades and as triggered organocatalysts. Easily controllable stimuli like heat or addition of water shift the equilibrium towards isocyanate and free base which can function as an in situ released reagent, both catalytically and in an equimolar fashion in different reactions. While applying heat to the system leads to a reversible liberation of amine base, addition of water makes this release irreversible. We demonstrate this application of DCv ureas with two examples via <sup>1</sup>H-NMR spectroscopy. Firstly, we use the liberated base to activate a protected organocatalyst for acylhydrazone formation. Secondly, this base can be employed to trigger the release of nitrile-N-oxides from chlorooximes, which can react with 4-arm PEG-thiols to form a thiohydroximate polymer gel. These findings show the utility of DCv hindered ureas beyond their application in self-healing.

The application possibilities of the in situ reactions of trichloroacetyl isocyanate (TAI method) to structural assignment of alcohols by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy are critically evaluated. The possibilities of TAI acylations in various solvents are demonstrated and the reactivity of various functional groups, potentially complicating or extending the applications of TAI, is discussed. In addition to their use in structural analysis such reactions also can serve as model experiments for preparative purposes.

The in situ reaction of amines with trichloroacetyl isocyanate (TAI) in the NMR sample tube was investigated as a tool in structural analysis by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy. Preferred conformations of the adducts were suggested which explain different behaviour of NH protons and the induced CH protons shifts. On the example of amino alcohols it was shown how to use the TAI method in combination with other in situ reactions (protonation, acetylation, trifluoroacetylation) for simultaneous differentiation between functional groups in polyfunctional molecules.

Four substituted bicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-6-ones (cyclopropanones) were prepared in situ, starting from the corresponding 2,6-dibromocyclohexanone and reductively removing the bromine atoms with the organometallic salt PPN+Cr(CO)4NO− The reaction is essentially instantaneous at −78 or−100 °C, and can be conveniently carried out in an NMR tube for easy characterization of the products by low-temperature 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The1,5-di-tert-butyl and 1-tert-butyl analogs were thermally stable to ca. 0 °C, but the 1-tert-butyl-5-methyl and 1-tert-butyl-5-ethyl derivatives were extremely labile, rearranging at ca. −80 °C into a cross-conjugated enol, where the methyl (or ethyl) substituent was converted into an exomethylene group. These enols were also characterized as in situ species using 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and by allowing the enol → α,β-unsaturated ketone rearrangement to take place at about 25 °C. The mechanism of the enol formation was investigated using a 1 -tert-butyl-5-CD3 analog, and the kH/kD ratio for enol formation was determined to be 6 ± 2. From this, the rate-determining step in the enol formation was postulated as a C-H → H-O transfer of a hydrogen atom in a cyclohexyl oxyallyl intermediate. The 1,5-di-tert-butylbicyclohexanone shows dynamic 1H NMR line broadening, the origin of which is also proposed to involve a cyclohexyl oxyallyl intermediate. Key words: cyclopropanone, oxyallyl, bicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-6-one, dienol, sigmatropic rearrangement.
