Abstract
The application of electronic structure calculations to a key transition state in the reaction manifold of the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction allows the design of two bis(thiourea) cocatalysts capable of accelerating this reaction through the hydrogen bond mediated recognition of both the nucleophile and the electrophile.
