Biomimetic trifunctional organocatalyst showing a great acceleration for the transesterification between vinyl ester and alcohol

Abstract
Trifunctional organocatalysts 1a and 1b mimicking the active site of serine hydrolases showed high catalytic activity with up to a 3 700 000-fold acceleration for the acyl-transfer reactions from vinyl trifluoroacetate to alcohol.
