The basicities of simple organic bases–aliphatic and aromatic amines, amidines,
phosphazenes, as well as saturated and unsaturated nitrogen heterocycles–are examined …

Acids and bases are ubiquitous. Sometimes, it is essential to know the accurate strength (pK
a values) of the acids/bases to work with, but sometimes just acidity/basicity order is enough …

The earlier compiled self-consistent spectrophotometric basicity scale in acetonitrile (AN)
was expanded to range from 3.8 to 32.0 p K a units, that is 28 orders of magnitude …

Conspectus One of the constant challenges of synthetic chemistry is the molecular design
and synthesis of nonionic, metal-free superbases as chemically stable neutral organic …

In this paper, we report the most comprehensive equilibrium superacidity scale that is
available to date. Contrary to most of the past works, this scale is set up in a medium of …

We propose a new concept of the triple role of protic ionic liquids with nucleophilic anions: a)
a regenerable solvent, b) a Brønsted acid inducing diverse transformations via general acid …

Palladium-catalyzed amination reactions using soluble organic bases have provided a
solution to the many issues associated with heterogeneous reaction conditions. Still …

Acids and bases are ubiquitous in chemistry. Our understanding of them, however, is
dominated by their behaviour in water. Transfer to non-aqueous solvents leads to profound …

Whereas alkyl and aryl azides readily react with terminal alkynes to afford 1, 4‐disubstituted‐
1, 2, 3‐triazoles in excellent yields and selectivity in the presence of a copper catalyst …

The design, synthesis, and development of a new class of modular, strongly basic, and
tunable bifunctional Brønsted base/H-bond-donor organocatalysts are reported. These …
