A related series of bisamides have been evaluated for rational correlation between anion complexation and organocatalysis: remarkable enhancement of hydrogen bonding to anions was observed along with significant increases in catalytic activity in the Baylis–Hillman reaction. In addition, X‐ray crystallography showed a large degree of pre‐organisation was observed in one receptor by incorporation of bis(trifluoromethyl)aniline groups along with a thioamide functionality. A novel bifunctional amide/ N ‐acylsulfonamide within the series gave the best catalytic profile.
