Lewis Basic Organocatalysis “Lewis base catalysis is the process by which an electron pair donor increases the rate of a given chemical reaction by interacting with an acceptor atom in one of the reagents or substrates. Furthermore, the Lewis base should not be consumed or altered during the course of the reaction.” The binding event may enhance either the electrophilic or nucleophilic character of the bound species. n-π* interactions Denmark, S. E.; Beutner, G. L. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 1560.

Structure: Amines and Phosphines • Barrier to inversion • Acyclic phosphines retain chirality at room temp • Trigonal pyramidal structure • Non-bonded lone pair of electrons Rapid inversion No inversion at room temp Kölmel, C.; Ochsenfeld, C.; Ahlrichs, R. Theor. Chim. Acta1991, 82, 271.
Nucleophilicity vs. Basicity nMeI = log(kY/kMeOH) where kY is the rate of reaction of Y with MeI in methanol at 25 °C Methot, J. L.; Roush, W. R. Adv. Synth. Catal. 2004, 346, 1035. Pearson, R. G.; Songstad, J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1967, 89, 1827.
Phosphine Reactivity • Soft nucleophile – easily polarizable • Trialkyl phosphines are more nucleophilic, but air sensitive • Triaryl phosphines are less nucleophilic, but typically cheap and air stable Methot, J. L.; Roush, W. R. Adv. Synth. Catal. 2004, 346, 1035. Pearson, R. G.; Songstad, J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1967, 89, 1827.
