A variety of electrostatically enhanced 3- and 4-pyridylborate salt catalysts are reported and show significant improvement over an activated noncharged neutral control compound. Their nucleophilicity in a stoichiometric SN2 reaction and catalytic performance in a urethane synthesis are evaluated along with three methods for rapidly evaluating the basicity of these species. That is, qualitative titrations in CH2Cl2and CHCl3were carried out, two separate solution-state IR studies in CCl4and CDCl3are reported, and the proton affinities of the anionic components of the salts were computed. Charge differences between the anion and its protonated zwitterionic conjugate acid are evaluated along with the highest occupied molecular orbitals of the anions in relationship to some of the surprising reactivity findings that were observed in the two kinetic studies.
