Modeling and synthesis of bifunctional dual activation thiourea organocatalysts for Michael addition of pyrazole by Savita Sharma, Vandana Sharma, Sanjay Mandal, Raj K. Bansal

“…Guided by the theoretical results, four new N-bis(3,5-trifluoromethyl)phenyl-N′-2-pyridylthiourea catalysts were synthesized and well characterized on the basis of IR, 1H and 13C NMR and HRMS studies. X-ray crystal structure of one catalyst could also be done. On determining comparative catalytic efficacies of these catalysts experimentally for the model reaction of pyrazole with cinnamaldehyde, the catalyst N-bis(3,5-trifluoromethyl)phenyl-N′-2-(5-chloropyridyl)thiourea was found to be most effective, which is in accordance with the theoretical modeling results.…”
