side-processes responsible for the fast deactivation of primary amino acidderivedorganocatalysts in asymmetric aldol reactions are identified. A new ionic-liquid-supported (S)-valine-/(S)-α,α-diphenylserinol-derived catalyst (9) is designed on the basis of these results and exhibits much better recyclability in asymmetric syn-aldol reactions between hydroxyacetone and aldehydes. Furthermore, this catalyst
Novel organocatalysts derived from L-threonine and L-leucine have been synthesized for catalyzing directaldolreactions of hydroxycetone and unactivated aliphatic aldehydes with as low as 2 mol% loading of the catalyst, good to excellent yields and excellent enantioselectivities have been achieved for aliphatic aldehydes, whereas aromatic aldehydes yield only moderate enantioselectivities.
We present herein simple primary-tertiary diamine-Bronsted acid conjugates that catalyze both syn- and anti-adol reactions of dihydroxyacetones (DHAs) with high diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities. This type of organocatalysts functionally mimics all four DHA aldolases, namely L-fuculose-1-phosphate aldolase, D-tagatose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase, D-fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase, and L-rhamnulose-1-phosphate aldolase.

Simple and inexpensive threonine-based organocatalysts that promote syn-aldol reactions and three-component asymmetric anti-Mannich reactions of alpha-hydroxyacetone achieving a respectable level of enantioselectivities are reported. The syn-aldol products could be obtained with up to a 99:1 syn/anti ratio and > 99% ee while the anti-Mannich products could be obtained with up to a 96:4 anti/syn ratio and > 99% ee. Catalyst 1c can be used efficiently on a large-scale with the enantioselectivities of the syn-aldol and anti-Mannich reactions being maintained at the same level, which offers a great possibility for application in industry.
