The synthesis and application of a newly designed C2-symmetric chiral bifunctional triamine family (C2-CBT) is reported. These enantiopure chiral triamine scaffolds can be accessed in multigram amounts from simple amino acids while avoiding chromatographic purification. As a proof of principle, C2-CBT has been studied in the aldol reaction of cyclic ketones with isatins, with the target tertiary alcohols
A α-cross-coupling aldol type additionreaction activated olefins with isatins has been described in the presence of ruthenium(III) chloride and tributyltin hydride (TBTH) at room temperature. This method is found to work consistently for the delivering of ene-carbonyl coupled products in good to excellent yields with moderate to acceptable selectivity. The substrate scope of the present method was
<i>In Situ</i>Formed Bifunctional Primary Amine-Imine Catalyst: Application to the Construction of Chiral Tertiary Alcohols through Asymmetric Aldol-Type Reaction
An in situ formation method to obtain chiral bifunctionalprimary amine‐imine catalysts from the C2‐symmetric chiral diimines has been developed. The efficiency of this method in the construction of chiral tertiary alcohols which are valuable pharmaceutical intermediates is proved by its application to the asymmetricaldol‐type reaction of cyclic ketones with other activated ketone compounds as the

Simple primary tertiary diamines easily derived from natural primary amino acids have been used to catalyze the aldol reactions in water. The 1 mol % of diamine catalyst is sufficient to catalyze the aldol reaction of cyclohexanone/acetone to isatins provided 3-substituted-3-hydroxy-2-oxindole in good yield and good enantioselectivity. The methodology highlights the importance of low catalyst loading in achieving high enantioselectivity. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
2-Azanorbornane-based amine organocatalyst for enantioselective aldol reaction of isatins with ketones
Optically active 2-azanorbornane-based organocatalysts were designed and synthesized, and the catalytic activity of these catalysts in enantioselective aldol reactions of isatins with ketones was investigated. Among these catalysts, 2-azanorbornylmethanol showed the best catalytic activity to afford the corresponding aldol product in excellent chemical yield (up to 95%) and with moderate stereoselectivity (up to 64% ee, up to syn:anti = 36:64).
