Popis: A bisamidinium catalyst has been designed for the Claisen rearrangement. The primary design feature is a dual hydrogen bonding array that can coordinate a singular oxygen atom of the substrate. The ability to function as a dual hydrogen donor is key as the bisamidinium accelerates the Claisen rearrangement to a greater extent than Brønsted acids with lower pK(a) values.
