New catalysis mechanism! The asymmetricaldolreaction of unactivated ketones and activated carbonyl compounds is realized with a quinidine‐derived thiourea catalyst (see scheme), and involves an enolate mechanism instead of the widely used enamine mechanism. With isatins as the substrate, the reaction can be applied to the enantioselective synthesis of biologically active 3‐hydroxyindolin‐2‐ones.

Prolinamide (2S,4R)-4-hydroxy-N-((S)-1-phenylethyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide was found to be an efficient organocatalyst (10 mol %) for the direct asymmetric aldol reactions of isatins with acetone at -35 degrees C in THF and afforded the product in 79% yield with 74% ee. We have generalised the methodology for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction between isatin derivatives and acetone, and the corresponding aldol products were obtained in high yields (up to 99%) and with moderate enantioselectivities (up to 80%). This method has been applied to the enantioselective synthesis of (S)-convolutamydine. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
