摘要
A C-shaped, bifunctional host with a highly preorganized cleft was used as a host system to investigate the sources of catalysis in the base-promoted conversion of 5-nitrobenzisoxazole to 2-cyano-5-nitrophenolate. Kinetic studies with compounds that partly conserve structural elements of the host suggest that pi-stacking interactions and solvation effects mainly contribute to the observed rate acceleration of the host compared to the acetate promoted reaction.
