Abstract: What makes a good organocatalyst?
DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) is
a thousandfold better nucleophile (k→)
and at the same time a million times
better leaving group (k←) than DMAP (4-(dimethylamino)pyridine). This apparent
contradiction is resolved by consideration
of the intrinsic reaction barriers.
