A novel category of diarylprolinol silylether catalysts which contain different lengths of alkylamine tags, was designed and synthesized. These catalysts were used, along with benzoic acid as the co-catalyst, to catalyze the asymmetric Michael reaction of the highly reactive acetaldehyde with nitroolefins. For the reactions studied, this catalyticsystem exhibited high reactivity in brine without

There has been growing interest in performing organocatalysis within a supramolecular system as a means of controlling reaction reactivity and stereoselectivity. Here, a protein is used as a host for iminium catalysis. A pyrrolidine moiety is covalently linked to biotin and introduced to the proteinhost streptavidin for organocatalytic activity. Whereas in traditional systems stereoselectivity is
