Three bifunctional organic catalysts with thiourea (or urea) and imidazole groups were designed and synthesized. Their catalytic activities for hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate (PNPA) were studied by UV spectrum. The dependence of rate constants on pH was also examined. The bifunctional organic catalysts showed higher catalytic activities than the monofunctional catalyst only with thiourea group.

Key words: enzyme mimic, bifunctional organic molecule, imidazole, hydrolysis, thiourea, nitrophenyl acetate
