A supramolecular approach to catalyzing the Ritter reaction by utilizing enhanced anion-binding affinity in the presence of alkali metal cations was developed with ditopic hydrogen-bonded amide macrocycles. With prebound cations in the macrocycle, particularly Li<sup>+</sup> ion, their metal complexes exhibit greatly enhanced catalytic activities. The catalysis is switchable by removal or addition of the bound cation. The method described in this work may be generalized for use in other anion-tr ...[more]
