Abstract
Two novel bisthiourea molecular motor-based catalysts were designed and their dynamic control of activity and stereoselectivity in the Henry reaction using heat and light as external stimuli was investigated. Enantioselective organocatalysis studies established that a basic functional group is not required within the catalyst core to effect efficient dual stereocontrol, illustrating novel stimuli responsive organocatalysts.
