Hammett correlation of nornicotine analogues in the aqueous aldol reaction: implications for green organocatalysis

Claude J Rogers et al. J Org Chem. 2005.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] A series of meta- and para-substituted 2-arylpyrrolidines were synthesized and examined for their ability to catalyze an aqueous aldol reaction under buffered conditions. Kinetic analysis of arylpyrrolidine-catalyzed reactions displayed a linear Hammett correlation with rho = 1.14 (R(2) = 0.996), indicating that the reaction is accelerated by electron-withdrawing aryl rings. These results show promise for the development of a synthetically viable aqueous organo-catalyst.
