Self‐activation : Takemoto's catalyst gains access to its active conformation by equilibrating between its hydrogen‐bonded intra‐ and intermolecular interactions in apolar aprotic solvents. By destabilization of the inactive monomeric conformations, the extended anti – anti thiourea conformation is preformed in the assembly. On leaving the assembly, this transient conformation has a structural preference to become a catalytically active monomeric species that has the potency for dual activation (see scheme).
