<p>A new class of bifunctional hydrogen-bond donor organocatalyst using oxoporphyrinogens with increased intramolecular hydrogen-bond donor distances is reported. Oxoporphyrinogens are highly non-planar rigid macrocycles containing a multiple hydrogen bond forming binding site. In this work we report the first example of non-planar OxPs as hydrogen-bond donor catalysts. The introduction of β-substituents is key to the catalytic activity and the catalysts are able to catalyze 1,4-conjugate additions and sulfa-Michael additions, as well as, Henry and aza-Henry reactions at low catalyst loadings (≤ 1 mol%) under mild conditions. Preliminary mechanistic studies have been carried out and a possible reaction mechanism has been proposed based on the bi-functional activation of both substrates through hydrogen-bonding interactions.</p>

The importance of cooperative hydrogen-bonding effects has been demonstrated using novel 3-methylenecyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (Feist’s acid (FA)) as hydrogen bond donor catalysts for the addition of indole and pyrrole totrans-β-nitrostyrene derivatives. Because of the hydrogen bond donor (HBD) ability, Feist’s acid (FA) has been introduced as a new class of hydrogen bond donor catalysts for the activation of nitroolefin towards nucleophilic substitution reaction. It has effectively catalyzed the Michael addition of indoles and pyrrole toβ-nitroolefins under optimum reaction condition to furnish the corresponding Michael adducts in good to excellent yields (up to 98%). The method is general, atom-economical, convenient, and eco-friendly and could provide excellent yields and regioselectivities. Some newly synthesized compounds were for examinedin vitroantimicrobial activity and their preliminary results are reported.

The assembly of hydrogen bonded cages using amidinium∙∙∙carboxylate hydrogen bonding interactions was investigated. A new tris-amidinium hydrogen bond donor tecton based on a tetraphenylmethane scaffold was prepared and its self–assembly with the terephthalate anion studied, and a new tricarboxylate hydrogen bond acceptor tecton was synthesized and its assembly with the 1,3-benzenebis(amidinium) hydrogen bond donor explored. In both cases, molecular modelling indicated that the formation of the cages was geometrically feasible and 1H NMR spectroscopic evidence was consistent with interactions between the components in competitive d6- DMSO solvent mixtures. DOSY NMR spectroscopy of both systems indicated that both components diffuse at the same rate as each other, and diffusion coefficients were consistent with cage formation, and with the formation of assemblies significantly larger than the individual components. An X-ray crystal structure showed that one of the assemblies did not have the desired cage structure in the solid state

The crystal structure of the title compound, 3Rb+·C6H5O73−·H2O, has been solved and refined using laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. The hydroxy group participates in an intramolecular hydrogen bond to the deprotonated central carboxylate group with graph-set motifS(5). The water molecule acts as a hydrogen-bond donor to both terminal and central carboxylate O atoms. The three independent rubidium cations are seven-, six- and six-coordinate, with bond-valence sums of 0.84, 1.02, and 0.95, respectively. In the extended structure, their polyhedra share edges and corners to form a three-dimensional network. The hydrophobic methylene groups occupy channels along thebaxis.
