We examined the catalytic activity of substituted thioureas in a series of Diels-Alder reactions and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. The kinetic data reveal that the observed accelerations in the relative rates are more dependent on the thiourea substituents than on the reactants

[reaction: see text] A combination of NMR, IR, and ab initio techniques reveals the striking structural similarities of an exemplary H-bonded complex of an N-acyloxazolidinone with an N,N'-disubstituted electron-poor thiourea and the corresponding Lewis acid complex. Although the H-bond association

Boronate ureas benefit from internal Lewis acid coordination of the urea cabonyl oxygen and the strategically placed boron. As a result of this structural feature, boronate ureas can be rendered more acidic than conventional urea hydrogen bond donor catalysts.
