Abstract
Thiourea-based organocatalysts bearing a photoswitchable dithienylethene (DTE) core and a wide range of substituents were prepared and extensively tested for their ability to accelerate the Michael reaction between acetylacetone and trans-β-nitrostyrene. There is a strong correlation between the Hammett parameter of the modulating groups and catalytic activity following UV irradiation. Electron-withdrawing groups afford the largest reactivity difference between the catalysts in their ring-open form and their ring-closed isomer, with evidence for electronic coupling between the two halves in both oDTE and cDTE.
