<p>A wide variety of asymmetric transformations catalysed by chiral catalysts have been developed for the synthesis of valuable organic compounds in the past several decades. Within asymmetric catalysis field, phase-transfer catalysis has been recognized as a powerful method for establishing useful procedures for organic synthesis. In the present study intermolecular interactions between a well-known alkaloid quinine-derived phase transfer catalyst and four different anions were characterised, analysing the competition between the pure ion-pair interaction and the intermolecular hydrogen bond established upon complexation. Finally, the energy profile corresponding to the enantioselective conjugate cyanation of a a,b-unsaturated ketone, under the presence of two different catalysts were performed.</p>

Hydrogen bond donor catalysis represents a rapidly growing subfield of organocatalysis. While traditional hydrogen bond donors containing N–H and O–H moieties have been effectively used for electrophile activation, activation based on other types of non-covalent interactions is less common. This mini review highlights recent progress in developing and exploring new organic catalysts for electrophile activation through the formation of C–H hydrogen bonds and C–X halogen bonds.

The first asymmetric synthesis of 3-amino-substituted isoindolinones was accomplished via cascade hemiaminal-heterocyclization-intramolecular aza-Mannich reaction of amines and 2-formylbenzonitriles using chiral phase transfer conditions (PTC).

Ab initio and DFT data quantify the ability of model uranyl complexes to engage in hydrogen- and halogen-bonding, quantifying the weakness of U–Oyl as an acceptor but the strength of equatorial OH2 as a donor.

The non-covalent interactions between two phase-transfer catalysts allow tuning of reaction kinetics from bimolecular, to pseudo 0th order, to sigmoidal. Kinetic models and DFT calculations are used to obtain detailed insight in the system.
