- Abstract
An artificial system of substrate‐induced dimerization assembly of chiral macrocycle catalysts enables a highly cooperative hydrogen‐bonding activation network for efficient enantioselective transformation. These macrocycles contain two thiourea and two chiral diamine moieties and dimerize with sulfate to form a sandwich‐like assembly. The macrocycles then adopt an extended conformation and reciprocally complement the hydrogen‐bonding interaction sites. Inspired by the guest‐induced dynamic assembly, these macrocycles catalyze the decarboxylative Mannich reaction of cyclic aldimines containing a sulfamate heading group. The imine substrate can be activated toward nucleophilic attack of β‐ketoacid by a cooperative hydrogen‐bonding network enabled by sulfamate‐induced dimerization assembly of the macrocycle catalysts. Highly efficient (>95 % yield in most cases) and enantioselective (up to 97.5:2.5 er) transformation of a variety of substrates using only 5 mol % macrocycle was achieved.
