a Reaction progress and calculated Log P values of the acid catalysts. b Complex of SQA-III and sulfonate anion of DBSA (DFT, B3LYP, equilibrium geometry of the ground state in PhMe, 6-31G*). c 1H NMR spectra of the complexation of DBSA and SQA-III. d Reaction media isotope effect. e Putative catalytic cycle. A = carbonyl compound; Ar = 4-dodecylphenyl; ArF = 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorophenyl; Bz = benzoyl; cat = DBSA and SQA-III; Et = ethyl.
