Biomimetic trifunctional organocatalyst showing a great acceleration for the transesterification between vinyl ester and alcohol

Tadashi Ema, Daisuke Tanida, Tatsuya Matsukawa and Takashi Sakai

Trifunctional organocatalysts 1a and 1b mimicking the active site of serine hydrolases showed high catalytic activity with up to a 3 700 000-fold acceleration for the acyl-transfer reactions from vinyl trifluoroacetate to alcohol.
